HW: chords (FAO Starfarer)

[Steve Youles]

Hi Doug

Thanks for the suggestions and corrections!

Generally I haven't bothered with trying to represent instrumentals...as
I'm not really providing tablature, just lyrics & chords, you kind of
*have* to have lyrics in there to show exactly where to place the chords :-
)  Without writing out proper tablature I wouldn't know how else to
represent the rhymthic nature of an instrumental.

I've also largely focussed on the guitar parts and not those played by any
other instruments.

And you are quite right about the fact that I've put Jack of Shadows in the
wrong key.  (Apologies, everyone.)  I know exactly how this happened.
We've come across this phenomenon before of vinyl albums and CD's not
having the same pitch.  With the PXR5 album, the CD does have the verse as
A-G-C-D.  However the vinyl is Bb-Ab-Db-Eb, not a very guitar friendly
key.  I obviously listened to the vinyl when figuring out the chords and
transposed the song by a half-step; but in the wrong direction.  I
sharpened it (the same as many UA-era recordings have to be sharpened from
Eb to E to make them guitar-friendly) instead of making it a half-step
flatter.  So I'll change this on the site :-)

Minor quibbles aside, the only other thing where I would disagree with you
is on 'Seeing It As You Really Are', which I think has a main riff of
F#....... E....... and a final chord of Eb lasting from 10:16 through to
the end of the song at around 10:41

Does anyone know the words that were sung to this on the Space Ritual
encore version?  (It forms the coda to 'You Shouldn't Do That')

Cheers

Steve
