[Verse 1]
Em
Of all the memories I've called to

None were that cloud

And her terrible sounds from

It seemed that the more that we prayed
F C
It grew darker a shade
[Chorus]
F C F Am
Navajo Norther, where did you leave

Can you still hear me?

Just like the water boils to steam

Were you the earthquake that set us free?

Have our lives just begun now that we chose to run?

Do you think we'd have thrived if we had just stayed?

Did something above know we'd see better days?

Chords used in this song are: C, Am, F, Em, G/B.
Playing Tips:
Capo and Tuning: The song doesn't specify a capo or alternate tuning, so assume
standard tuning with no capo unless you're looking to match your vocal range or the original recording's pitch.
Chord Transitions:
The transitions between C, Am, and F are common in many songs, so practicing
these will not only help with this song but also improve your overall playing.
The Em chord provides a minor tonality that contrasts with the major chords,
adding depth to the song's emotional expression.
Finger Positioning for Chords:
C: Index on 1st fret of B, middle on 2nd fret of D, ring on 3rd fret of A.
Am: Index on 1st fret of B, middle on 2nd fret of D, ring on 2nd fret of G.
F: Full barre version: index across all strings on 1st fret, middle on 2nd fret of G,
ring on 3rd fret of A, pinky on 3rd fret of D. For an easier version,
play x33211 or xx3211.
Em: Middle on 2nd fret of A, ring on 2nd fret of D.
G/B: Place your index finger on the 2nd fret of the A string and ring finger on the
3rd fret of the B string. This chord emphasizes the B bass note.
Strumming Pattern: The song's mood suggests a more reflective and perhaps
slower strumming pattern. A simple downstroke pattern on the beat can work well,
or you can incorporate a mix of down and upstrokes for a fuller sound, especially
in the chorus.
Emotional Expression: Pay attention to the dynamics of your playing. The verses
might be played more softly, building in intensity during the choruses. This dynamic
contrast can help convey the emotional depth of the song.
Practice the Interludes: The interludes offer a moment of musical reflection and transition.
Practice these changes smoothly to maintain the song's flow.
Remember, the goal is not just to play the chords but to convey the song's emotional
landscape through your playing. Take your time with each section, and feel free to add
your personal touch to the performance.
