Misc Television - Bbc News 24 – Countdown

here are the chords to the brilliant theme to bbc news 24 as per this
youtube video .

before the chords , a few notes on other parts of the song :
– the beeps are always A A# , regardless of the chord , they go up an octave or two near
end , this will be indicated later on .
– the bass stays on a constant A# until a certain point which will also be indicated .
– i haven’t figured out the strings part , although i’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to do
they’ll generally fit around the chords and the note A# .

i’ll not do this by bars or standard music timing , but by the time remaining on the
on the video (
want to watch the video , i’m sure it would be easier enough to hear where it changes by
or by counting .

a thousand apologies if the chords are difficult to change to on a guitar , as i figured
out mostly on a bass , a keyboard and a ukulele and generally have no knowledge of guitar chords .

right , the countdown starts at 90 , and the first chord ( which comes a second before 90 ) is :

91 A#m

this goes on for a while until you reach the next progression :

46 A#m
42 D#
38 A#m
34 D#

following these are two more chords :

30 A#m
26 Fm ( bass begins to follow chords here , rather than sticking to A# )

then a brief repetition of two chords :

22 F#
18 D#
14 F#
10 D# ( at this point , the beeps go up in pitch by an octave or two , just play what
right )

then , you finish off with a pleasant and resolving :

6 A# ( note that this is A# , not A#m as in the rest of the song )

righty – ho , that should be everything .
