15th jan 2013
inspired by the death of ray davies’ sister , and also a trip to india .
tuning :
original single version is tuned a half step flat of standard tuning ,
or was in concert pitch but the backing tape was slowed slightly .
to emulate the indian feel , slide up from all the D5 to the E5 chords .
use the chord shapes shown at the bottom of the page ,
which have lots of open E string to create something of the feel of the
sitar style drone of the song .
on the Bmsus4 and F#m11 i’ve indicted not to play the bottom E ,
just to add more emphasis to the 5th string notes ,
but it doesn’t matter , if you find it easier to play all the strings .
