Topic: Squeeze Tunes

A friend got to play with Glenn Tilbrook at Ram's Head in Annapolis, MD. He showed me the video, and I'd forgotten how much I loved Squeeze, so I decided to learn a few songs . I have a comment and a question.

Goodbye Girl has the wrong chord. On the line "I looked around to find her" it's not F    G,  it's D     G.

Cool for Cats. That Eb just doesn't sound right. I've tried D# and that doesn't work either. The odd thing is (And I'm just learning) is that none of the Eb chords I looked up have an Eb in them.

Anyone have any ideas??? I'm still working on it. Next trick is to learn "Tempted"..

Thanks

Re: Squeeze Tunes

Hi dulcimermike52 - When you find incorrect chords or lyrics, you can correct the song.  Be sure you're logged in and then at the bottom the song page there is a 'correct song' button.

Once the song is opened for editing you can make any necessary changes to improve the layout or content.  The 'correct song' feature is a very cool thing. 

Regarding the D# and Eb chords, they are actually the same (enharmonic).  So, D# = Eb  just the same as A# = Bb, G# - Ab, etc.  (Because there are only half-steps between E & F and B & C it means that E# = F and Fb = E, likewise B# = C and Cb = B.)

Although there are many different ways of forming all the chords, these pairs of chords will contain basically the same notes.  James
