Intro
The intro is initially played on piano, but you can adapt it for guitar.
It sets up the song's reflective mood. Play this melody three times:
e|---0-0---0---0---0-
B|-3-----3---3---3---
G|-------------------
D|-------------------
A|-------------------
E|-------------------
This part is simple but effective in establishing the emotional tone of the song.
Chords Progression
For the verses and chorus, you'll primarily be using the following chords
in sequence:
A, Em, G, Bm, A
This progression carries the emotional weight of the song,
moving from reflection to deeper introspection.
Playing the Verse
When you play the verse, start with the A chord as you sing:
"Standing out in a summer lawn"
Switch to Em as you move to:
"Queen bee buzzing round my right arm"
And then progress through G, Bm, and back to A as you conclude with:
"Wonder how she keeps her kingdom spinning"
The chord changes accompany the narrative, adding depth to the storytelling.
Playing the Chorus
The chorus amplifies the song's emotional stakes. Start again with A:
"Here we are under a heartbreak sky"
Move through Em, G, and Bm, and back to A, mirroring the ebb and flow of
the song's themes of regret and longing:
"Baby I don't know why I flew away too soon"
Solo Section
The solo part allows you to explore the melody further, following the same chord
progression as the verse and chorus. It's a moment for emotional and musical reflection.
Outro
The song concludes by revisiting the chord progression of the chorus, leaving
the listener in the song's lingering emotional landscape:
"Leave me alone to fly under a jealous moon"
Additional Tips
Convey the emotion behind each chord and lyric. The song is as much about
feeling as it is about technical play.
Control your dynamics; softer sections contrasted with more intense ones can
deepen the emotional impact.
Ensure smooth chord transitions, especially when shifting between major and
minor, to keep the emotional narrative flowing.
