Chords for Good life - cbee - 07-18-2002

I think I figured out a somewhat close version.
Not quite the same tuning they use but very close. I was on the album premiere on LAke Champlain (4 star performance ... even met gordie)
Anyone interested in checking it out ?
Also, is there any sites that have Music at Work album tab ?

where can I find it.... - hipfan - 07-21-2002

Just wondering how to get that "It's a good life..." tab from you...?

- cbee - 07-22-2002

This is pretty close I think. I haven't tried it on an electric but it sounds really good on the old Guild Acoustic. Let me know what you think.
And, Is there any tab sites with tabs from the Music at work album ?

It’s a good life: T- Hip

Intro: G#m E 4x

G#m E5
In the color of the night
G#m E5
And all the smoke for one life
C#5 Fm
Leads way to shaky movement, Improvisation skills
C#5 Fm
A forest of whispering speakers, Let's swear that we will
G#m E5
Get with the times
G#m
In a current health to stay
E5
Let's get friendship right, Get life day to day
C#5
In the forget yer skates dream
Fm
Full of countervailing woes
C#5
In Diverse as ever scenes
F#m E5
Proceeding on a need to know
F#m E5
In a face so full of meaning
F#m E5
As to almost make glow
F#m E5
For the good life we just might have to weaken

B
And find somewhere to go
E
(let's )Go somewhere we're needed
B
Find somewhere to grow
E
(we) Grow somewhere we're needed

Intro 2x

Repeat Verse 1: When the color of the night

Repeat chorus 2x, add vocals 2nd time

End:
C#5
In the forget yer skates dream
F#m
Full of contervailing woes
C#5
You can hang your head low
G#m E
To find which way to go

Thanks for the tab. http://Aheadbyacentury.com has a couple of Music @ Work tabs.

Thanks for the tab...it sounds pretty good.
Just wondering though what you fingering for the C#5 chord is...I don't think I have it right.

- cbee - 07-23-2002

Thanks,
There is a correction, any Fm should be replaced with a F#m.
C#5 is played as a bar chord on the fourth fret, 1 string down.
