"Street Spirit (Fade Out"

There are four picking patterns used throughout the song. One for each of

the Am, Em and C chords used, with a change of pattern on the Am in the

second and subsequent verses (although the original pattern is still used

for the choruses and outro). Its hard to tell what the fingerpicked

guitar does when the chords change  in the outro, as there is another

guitar over the top, playing some similar ideas up an octave (I might get

round to transcribing these one day!)



Here is the chord structure for the song:

Note that the complete picking pattern takes up two bars.

Em and C picking patterns as first verse Am, butthe appropriate chord 

shapes formed (Standard Em and C) using the same descending notes on the 

B string.



  Watch out for cramps playing this one, as you have to hold 

that open Am shape for a hell of a long time. Its best played on an

electroacoustic, with just a hint of reverb.





Am 

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me

 I can feel their blue hands touching me

 Em

 All these things into position, 

 All these things we'll one day swallow whole

 Am (4 bars)

     C    Em  Am

 And fade out again

    C    E*m  Am

 And fade out again

     C   Em     Am 

Ohhhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

     C   Em

 Ohhhhhh Ohhhhh 



First chorus ends here.
Third chorus as above, but with a double length "Ohhhhh" section.
