Well, I'm back.
I only have one song to share, for now, but I was so excited when I FINALLY figured this one out that I couldn't wait to post it.
I'm 99% sure this is correct, but will explain where any confusion comes in.
Note: Notes in lowercase = high notes
The Garden
Tuning: ?
Verse: G / A# / A / G / A (repeat)
Play above pattern until Pre-Chorus (that's what I'm calling it):
and the (G) stars came out (C) around him
he was (G) thinking of his (C) sins
and he’s (G) looking at his (C) songbird
and he’s (G) looking at his (C) wings.
Back to Verse pattern
Until Pre-Chorus 2:
and he (G) came knelt down before (C) him
and (C) fell upon his (C) knees
said, I will (G) give you gold and (C) mountains
if you (G) stay awhile with (C) me (g / a )
Chorus: and there was (a) trouble taking (g) place (a#) (repeat)
Interlude (Vocalized part, plus keyboard/piano high notes):
Aww, aww, aww (f# / a / d ) - Repeat 3 more times
Back to Verse pattern until:
Pre-Chorus 3:
and the (G) wind it gathered (C) round him
he was (G) thinking of his (C) sins
he was (G) looking at his (C) songbird
and he was (G) looking for his (C) wings
Chorus (Repeat 4x)
Then end and fade out on the Interlude.
Notes:
About the Pre-Choruses - This is the only point of confusion for me. At times, it sounds as if she's playing the G, then throwing in a fast A chord before sliding up to C. Other times, it sounds like G / C / D. However, when I play that on my guitar in Standard tuning, the D sounds too high. This could be one of those times where the circle of fifths is involved, meaning almost every chord used in the song sounds like it would fit there at any point. Personally, all I can really hear is G / C, although I do strike the A string open before playing the C, and I think that sounds perfectly fine.
Also, play the singular g / a / high notes in Pre-Chorus 2 in the 3rd octave (or higher).
About the Chorus - All she's doing here is playing the notes in the Verse pattern at a higher octave, somewhere around the 3rd octave or higher. The pattern is tricky, but it sounds like she's just striking them repeatedly and repeating them over and over again.
About the Interlude - For the longest time, I could not figure this out—until I realized what was going on a couple days ago. These notes are being played somewhere between the 4th ad 5th octaves. When you play this, play the f# and a in the 5th octave, but play the d note in the 4th. You can play it anywhere, so long as you play the d note at a lower octave. Otherwise, it won't sound right.
It's not perfect, but: It's something.
I have more, but I've just been busy with other things. I'll try to post them whenever I have time!
