CLOUD 9
by Janelle Monáe
This song is from the her first album (and first installment of the Metropolis series) "The Audition"—some-
times called "Metropolis: Point Zero".
NOTE: Most of the song only repeats two chords, Bm7 and Am7. Notice that each is not played with an equal
 length of one(1) measure. Rather, Bm7 is played (almost) half a measure, while Am7 is played from there on
 until the end of the next measure.
Key: G# Minor
Capo 4
