The following is my transcription of Desperate People by Living
Colour, from the first album. I am hoping someone could help me with a few
points. Firstly, the G in what I have called fig1 doesn't sound like a single
note, but I can't get the chord. Also, I'm at a loss as to the final
chord.
Play all chords as power chords playing the 4th, 5th and 6th stings
(verse), or triads on the second third and fourth strings in the seventh and
fifth positions(chorus). thus, E, F# and D are A formations, A, B and C#
are F formations and I play Aii as a D. A/D is the F fomation with the
pinky added on to the third string. The tab should straighten out in a true type
font, so that all notes are played as single notes, not chords. Have Fun!
