Take note that the inversion only happen in the left hand, the right hand plays \r\nthe usual bass(root) notes.\r\n\r\nIF you're plannning on playing this on guitar I suggest you down tune a halfstep so you \r\ncan get that open chord feeling, thats in the song.\r\n\r\nGuitar Tuning D# G# C# F# A# D#\r\n\r\nChords: [ch]Gsus2[/ch], [ch]D[/ch], [ch]C[/ch]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nGod, please bring the rain[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nYeah, and bring it soon[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nLet it flood right through the houses[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]  [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]C[/ch]\r\nInto Judy's room[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWith a father on amphetamines[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nHer mother hides the pearls[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nReach out into the darkness[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd find my little girl[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\n'Cause she's angry like a salesman[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThat couldn't make a sale[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThrew her wedding ring in the sewer[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd damned them all to hell[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nPlease lead her to the mountain[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThat you fashioned out of sand[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWhile the roaches climb the walls[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nFrom the hotel where he calls[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nMost people never find a love[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nMost people never find a love[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSometimes you just can be a man[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSometimes you just can be a man[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWhen your living in the darkness[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nOf the shadowlands[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThe shadowlands[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Gsus2[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThe shadowlands[/tab]\r\n\r\nThe cool thing about the open chords is if your playing this on solo guitar you can \r\nfingerpick the song easily\r\n\r\nBest of Luck\r\nHErmesReborn,","plain_text":"For some reason there seems to be alot of confusion on the first chord of this song.  \nThe First chord is an F#sus2 chord\nThe reason it sounds ominous is because of the low register of the voicings\nThe Entire Progression is\nF#sus2 C#     B    repeated over and over\n\nIF you're playing this on piano you have to invert the chord so that it follows the top \nmelody line which utilizes the notes G# (for the F#sus2) F (For the C#) and D# (for the \nB chord.)\nSo fill the chord normally,  just make sure those notes are on top and you should be fine.\nFor any of you familiar with theory\nThe F#sus2 and C# chords are in first inversion while the final B chord is in 2nd \ninversion.
