Forever Chords

   
This is Gabe Bondoc’s rendition of Forever by Chris Brown. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62vEOOKQ5pU < Gabe’s cover

Please not that these chords are just what I think they are, please correct me if I’m wrong.

      C9    G      C     A
e|-----3------3------0------0------------------------------------|
B|-----3------3------3------0------------------------------------|
G|-----0------0------0------5------------------------------------|
D|-----2------0------4------5------------------------------------|
A|-----3------2------5------x------------------------------------|
E|------------3------x------5------------------------------------|


The 3rd chord is a C chord moved up 2 frets, don’t know what it’s called.
The 4th chord is an A chord, or some sort of variation of it.

Gabe starts off by plucking each string, and then going into a more up tempo beat. 
He starts of kind of like this.

e|--------3---------3---------0--------0-------------------------|
B|--------3---------3---------3--------0-------------------------|
G|------0---------0---------0--------5---------------------------|
D|----2---------0---------4--------5-----------------------------|
A|--3---------2---------5----------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------5-------------------------------|

Pluck the last 2 strings each chord together. For the G chord alternate from 
hitting the A and E string. So first hit the A and not the E.  

When Gabe sings the first line of the verse, he strums the C variation once. And 
then proceeds to pluck the A variation. He then raises the tempo and plucks each 
chord twice except for the A which he lingers on for longer. 

He uses the same chords throughout the song.
In the last part of the song he slows it down and finger picks. I don’t know 
exactly how he does it, so just make it up as you go along ;D practice some improv.

Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)

Feels like we're on another level

Feels like our loves intertwined,

We can be two rebels breaking the rules

me and you, you and I

All you got to do is watch me

Look what I can do with my feet

Baby feel the beat inside,

I'm driving you can take the front seat

Just need you to trust me
Oh ah oh

It's like!

[Chorus]

Bridge [finger picked] same basic progression as verse 1.

It's a long way down,

We're so high off the ground,

Sending for an angel to bring me your heart

Girl, where did you come from?

Got me so undone,

Gazing in your eyes got me singing what a beautiful lady

No "if"s, "and"s or "maybe"s

I'm releasing my heart and it's feeling amazing

There's no one else that matters

you love me and I won't let you fall girl

Let you fall girl oh

Ah ah ye yea

I won't let you fall, let you fall

Let you fall oh oh

Ye yea

Yea yea

It's Like!

[Chorus]
