Hurts Like Heaven Chords

DukeNewcomb · 21-06-2011, 07:12 PM

Just messed about for ten minutes on the guitar and I think I've worked out the chords.

Capo on 6th

Verse:

E and A repeated throughout until the chorus and then

B
Oh you, used your heart as a weapon

A
And it hurts like heaven

and then carried on.

10mins is farily long

but it's correct ^^

though i'd check with the videos if it's not an capoed open-tuning.... if i recall that correctly, on at least 1 capoed song he'd strum the guitar open and it was a normal sounding chord (one of the new tunes)

edit: yup, looks like i'm right
try out open E: low to high EBEG#BE + capo on 6th fret
the verse is mostly Bb (all strings open 0-0-0-0-0-0) & Eb (11-11-11-0-0-0) (don't care about the capo when referring to the frets, kay? 0 is just the same as "open")
then: you use your heart as a weapon <- F (13-13-13-0-0-0)
still hurts like heaven <- back to Eb

and once there is a change, don't know when actually, but maybe it's "it's true" just before "you use your heart as a weapon", there he goes to Dm (10-10-10-0-0-0) and then back to F & Eb as usual.

i think it's correct, at least is sounds good to me (see next post, sorry for DP ) and looks like what chris is doing...
have fun
((did not take me 10 min at all

xD i'm sorry^^))

You said don't judge. I won't.
But whatever was great.

Gosh, just smashed my D string. The good elixir one

Would you mind me posting this on ultimate guitar, of course saying it was figured out by you?
