*NOTE: I have the Nickel Creek songbook in front of me and am taking the chords that I use from the book.
I noticed that there were a lot of requests for mandolin chords out there
so I'm posting this, but please remember that this is NOT my work and I am
taking no credit for this.
Verse 1:
E C#m7 Asus2 Bsus4
One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean.
E C#m7 Asus2 Bsus4 B#o7
Take her or leave her, she will still be the same.
C#m7 G#7 Asus2 Bsus4
She'll not try to buy you with her time
E C#m7 Asus2 Bsus4
But nothing's the same as you will see when she's gone.
Chorus:
Asus2 Bsus4
It's foreign on this side.
C#m7 F#m7 E Asus2
And I'll not leave my home again.
Bsus4 C#m7
There's no place to hide
A#m7b5 Asus2 Bsus4
And I'm nothing but scared.
Verse 2:
You dream of colors that have never been made
You imagine songs that have never been played.
They will try to buy you and your mind
But only the curious have something to find.
Chorus:
(and the truth is a bitter friend/reasons few have I to go back again)
Verse 3:
Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day.
Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain.
There's no path to follow once you're here.
Climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs.
(the last chorus has some different chords)
Asus2 Bsus4
It's foreign on this side
C#m7 F#m7 E Asus2
But it feels like I'm home again.
Bsus4 C#m7
There's no place to hide
A#m7b5
But I don't think I'm scared.
Asus2 Bsus4 B#o7
There's no place to hide (there's no place to hide) but I don't think I'm scared.
C#m7 A#m7b5 A5 B5 C5 C#5 D5 D#5
There's no place to hide, but I don't think I'm scared.
I know some of those chords are kind of tricky, so here:
B#o7 F#m7 A#m7b5 A5 B5 C5 C#5 D5 D#5
0-----0------0-----0----0---0---0---0----0--------
6-----0------4-----4----3---3---4---5----6-------
4-----2------2-----2----3---5---6---7----8---------
4-----4------3-----2----3---5---6---7----8---------

I put the chords on the top of the word
where you're supposed to play them.
The little key at the bottom is just a
breakdown of some of the more obscure
chords.
-sabragirl59 | 10/5/2003 | 2 things, how did you learn to change the notes in the book to actual frets, and can you list all the chords, not just a few. Thanx
-lacrossehoc152 | 11/8/2003 | can you list all the tabs like the E i have no idea what chord to put,
-silasa6 | 11/12/2003 | yes that would be very nice
-carbonleafcreek | 2/23/2004 | Also, if you go to mandolincafe.com it is really helpful!!
-jesswright7 | 4/27/2004 | Here's how I play the most frequesntly used ones:
E C#m7 Asus2 Bsus4 G#7 F#m7
4-----4------5-----2----1----2---
2-----2------2-----2----1----2---
2-----4------2-----2----3----4---
4-----4------2-----4----2----2---
I chose these since most share the second position as a foundation. Also avoided open strings to enable chopping of the chords.
I'm not convinced that Chris just follows the guitar chords. There seems to be a good bit of redundancy in what he plays. It might simply be a couple of compatable chords he bounces between. It's tough to pick out exactly what's being played.
Hope that helps!
-speacock | 12/6/2004 | Sabragirl; You have the nickelcreek songbook. Can you tell me if it has all the mandolin solos tabbed in it?
