I know this is all rather silly since the album isn't even out yet, but I've been loving up this song quite a bit since I heard the studio version.

for some reason it's at the bottom of the list even though I moved it to the top. What ev.. and whoops

I originally planned to add some of the piano and harmony, but I sort of liked the rawness of this. If you are interested in the exact chords I used, I'll try to figure out what they are called.

Jeez Tyler, you rock. I really love the percussive guitar-slapping in place of drum fills. Also, have I told you lately that you sound like Damien Rice?

opening riff


C D Em G
3 5 3 3
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
2 4 2 0
3 5 2 2
X X 0 3

then the verses go
G D C
Em D C

X2

chorus is the same as the opening riff,

C D Em G X3

the bridge is just G D X8

and the outro is G Em G

I played it capo 4 I think (so in the key of B), but Eisley's version is in Gb.

I really like what you did with this song, and you have a wonderful voice. I also really enjoyed the song "Oceans in the Sky," is that an original piece or a cover I'm seemingly unfamiliar with?

That's fantastic, mate!

I play acoustic guitar and sing as well. I've been debating with myself on whether or not I should put up mp3s of my music. Gotta feel kind of brave about it, lol.

As with almost all Eisley songs, you mean that it's played in the key of Too-Friggin'-High-For-Normal-People-To-Sing-To-Without-Making-Their-
Voices-Crack-Somewhere-Along-The-Song. Laughing

Well, it's certainly too high for any male besides a true tenor (like the Three Tenors or something), so I moved it down 7 semitones, (or up 5)
