New Blues
Tokyo Police Club
G
Chords
Note that the band tunes a half-step down for live performances. The studio recording is two steps down. The chord names are written as if they were in standard tuning - that Am chord in the chorus is actually a Gm, but it's an Am shape so that's how I've written it. ***** The D is actually a Dadd9add11 (Ultimate Guitar didn't like that). Just play an open C slid up two frets, meanwhile the G6 is an open C shape rooted on G. This is Graham's rythym guitar part. Josh plays the same chords in Verse 1, except instead of the G6 he plays a standard open G (I use standard G because it sounds more full when playing alone). Josh's solo is based off the verse melody. For reference, I start on the twelfth fret of the B string, up to the twelfth fret of the E string, then down to the tenth fret of the E string, and work off of that.
Verse 1
D I've been low I've been down Am G6 And I don't want to go there anymore D The sky is white The grass is gold Am G6 And I can't make my shadow out at all D Oh babe, they're gonna tell us What we can and cannot do Am G6 Babe, they're gonna feed us to the fire D I can dance And you can sing Am G6 You know that's never going to have us down
Chorus
C I got G New blues C And my G New blues
Verse 2
D A battlecry, a mockingbird Am G6 The same thing happens every single time D It's in my heart It's in my soul Am G6 For once I don't want it to be denied D Oh, no one's gonna tell us who we will and will not be Am G6 No one's gonna show us to the door D 'Cause I've been low And I've been down Am G6 And I don't want to go there anymore
Chorus
C I got G New Blues C Singing G New Blues Hey!
