SITTING STILL (Version 1)
{note: In this song and many other REM songs, there is an A9 chord. This chord can be interchanged with Asus2. Here is my favorite A9 position:
(E) -0- its just like playing an A chord using a 5th fret (B) -0- barre E chord. If you move it to the seventh fret, (G) -6- it becomes a B11. On the 8th fret, its a Cmaj7. On (D) -7- the 10th, its a D9add6. On the 3rd fret, its a very (A) -7- pretty G6 chord. On the second, its a neat sounding F# (E) -5- sort-of chord. On the first fret, Its a Mexican sounding F chord.}
A BaddE/F# is an easy chord. It looks like this. Don't play the A-string. Obviously, you pick this chord -don't strum, It'll sound shitty.
BaddE/F# BaddE (normal) (E) -0- -0- (B) -0- -0- To switch between these chords, move (G) -2- -2- only ONE finger. (D) -4- -4- (A) -x- -2- (E) -2- -x-
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
{same as before} I'm the sign and you can read. I'm the sign and you're not deaf. We could bind it in the cist. We could gather, throw a fit.
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
This name I got we all agree See could stop stop it will rid We could bind it in the cist We could gather, throw a fit.
