this song only uses a couple of chords , but it’s deceptively difficult due to the
strumming pattern and frank ocean’s frequent use of hammering and pulling . the following is
just the basic chord sequence , so i highly recommend listening to the song closely to
try and pick up some of the nuances . comments and suggestions welcome; this is just A
rough attempt .
chords used ( eadgbe ) :
Em – 022000
Cadd9 – 032030
Em7 ( ? ) – 022030
G – 320033
Gmaj7 – 2×0033
Cmaj7 – 032000
intro / verse
Em – Cadd9 ( i think he throws Em7 in there sometimes , but i’m not sure )
four measures of each .
prechorus / chorus
G – Gmaj7 – Em – Cmaj7 – Cadd9
two measures each of the first three , one measure each for Cmaj7 and Cadd9 .
that’s about it . great song , couldn’t find chords for it anywhere else so i hope people
get some use out of these!
