Re: brand new angel

Hi gtrig3,
This is an interesting song with a traditional  country melody line and an unusual chord progression.
I got in trouble twice on this forum by writing out all the copywritten lyrics to a song and then jotting the chord changes over the sylable of the lyric where they hit. So this time I am just writing chords over the words and letting you listen to the video and figure out the rest. Jeff Bridges has a pleasing voice but he has a bad case of the mumbles so it's not gonna be easy.
The intro is in Bm (minor) until after the word "train", then F#. After "last night" A
G        C         G        D        A F#               Bm,A


2.  Bm   F#     BM   A  G       C     G           D   A
 
   F#    Bm    A  A7
 
[chorus] D     G            D          Bm  F#  Bm  A
           
G        D       A        D G D

Bm    F#  BM  A G       C  G      D

  A   F# Bm  A   Bm        F#    BM    A

   G       C       G                      D          A
   
    F#         BM    A
   
    D  G    D        BM  F#            BM

     G        D    A   A                   D       G   D


Question marks for lyrics I'm guessing at.
Good luck,

lyrics removed by moderator topdown. TubaT - you are not "in trouble" and I along with many members really appreciate your sharing your transposing skills. That said, posting copyrighted lyrics is a tricky subject and in the future, I encourage you to send your full transpositions to the original poster via email instead of posting them on the forum. I am sure you understand. Thanks, Jeff

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Re: brand new angel

Thank you,Jeff.
In the future that is what I will do.
It is a shame though, that other Chordians interested in this song, will not have access to the info.
However the law is the law and we must abide.

Re: brand new angel

Toots... I think it's really sweet that you took the time to write all that out for this member on their very first post to the forum! 

Some laws really stink.  Jeff... you said what you had to very nicely.

GTRIG3 ... welcome to the forum!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
