Howie Day - So Much Love

so much love – live

based on his performance in londonderry . you’ll need some sort of loop pedal if you want
to mimic his live performances .

note : during the verses howie plays the G with the third fret on the B string , during
the chorus , he plays it open . i think this song sounds good if you just vary the way you
play the chords , hammering on and off certain notes to mix it up a bit .

C
i’ve been watching you
D
from across the room
G D
i can feel it in my blood
C
these days its all for show
D

G D

G D F C
of your love

G D Fmaj7 C ( he loops these chords , then starts layering a percussive rythym with muted
strings . if you don’t have a loop pedal then keep playing these chords until the end of
the song .

he then adds another level of the same 4 chords , but played as barre chords E . G . D on
the 10th fret

this is where you can start to loop the vocals .

stay with me , stay with me x3 , singing higher each time

then , singing on top of the loops

for your love , for your faith , for your trust , the two of us
for your love , for your faith , for your trust , the two of us
for your love , for your faith , for your trust , the two of us
i’m in love with you

for your love , for your faith , for your trust , the two of us
for your love , for your faith , for your trust , the two of us

( cut the guitar loops and really go for this last one! )

for your love , for your faith , for your trust , the two of us

cut the vocal loop and you’re done!

feel free to comment , i’ve tried to keep it fairly simple . check out his live
performances of the song to get a feel of how it goes .
