Half A Person

[The_Draize_Train]

Anyone play this? I have these chords for it, but I can never seem to get it sounding right - maybe all the chords are not correct?


Intro riff:
|---5-4-------------------------|
|--5----5-----------------------|
|-4-----------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|


Bm E RIFF1 Bm E RIFF1

Call me morbid, call me pale. I've spent six years on your trail

Bm A G E Esus4 E

six long years on your trail.

Bm E RIFF 1 Bm E RIFF 1

Call me morbid, call me pale. I've spent six years on your trail

Bm A G E Esus4 E

six full years of my life on your trail.

Gb G(bar) C(bar) G Gb G(bar)

And if you have five seconds to spare, then I'll tell you the story of my life.

D A Gb Bm G

Sixteen clumsy and shy, I went to London and I

D A Gb

I booked myself in at the Y W C A

A E RIFF 1 A E RIFF 1

I said "i like it here, can I stay?", "i like it here, can I stay?",

Bm A G E Esus4 E

Do you have a vacancy for a back scrubber?





Thoughts appreciated :)

These are the only changes I'd make. Other than that you've got it down. :thumb:

I use:

Intro:Gmaj7-E

Pt1: x2 Gmaj7-E x2
Bm-A-Asus2-G-E-A

Pt2: F#m-F#-G-D-A
F#m-F#-G-C/G-G

Pt3 D-A-F#-Bm-G
D-A-F#m-F#

if i remember correctly you repeat that three times and then outro
i got this from the louder than bombs book that was uploaded
sounds pretty good to me

check out this version here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtPkUAFvt1k). Marr originally played it in Nashville tuning, using the high strings from a 12 string set on a 6 string. I think this is as close as I've heard.

it'll go easier if you get a capo on II (but it's not necessary) -- makes all the 2nd fret notes open and jangly. If you're playing on an electric, you'll want to cut the bass a bit (bridge pickup if you can) and boost the mids/highs.

[Hidden By Rags]

These are the chords I use, taken from this version in ult-guitar (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/s/smiths/half_a_person_ver2_crd.htm)
it was easy enough for me to learn and sounds good to my ears.

Gmaj7 E7 Bm A6 G.
F# GDA

Similar to evergreennightmare's. Ah, never thought to compare these to the one from the Louder book.
