"Since I Don't Have You"


I plan on posting notes from the first seven EPs once the new year starts, and because I don't want to interrupt those with a recording of what I know of "Since I Don't Have You," I did that to-day.  I have two guitar parts (although my tone doesn't match very well, and I don't think I have the right rhythm for the chords during the bridge) and the bass part.

Here are the parts written out (with the disclaimer that I may have something wrong).

Lead guitar:

At beginning:

E|-----5-6-8-8-6-5---|
B|-8-8-------------6-|

In verses:

G|---------|:-------2-3-:|
D|---------|:-----3-----:|
A|-3-3-3-3-|:-3-5-------:|

The string of C notes (just by itself) also occurs before the bridge, but it's omitted when this phrase is played at the end of the song.

Chords

Introduction
G minor | C major | F major

Verses
|: F major | Bb minor :|
G minor | C major [F major in transition to bridge]

The bass plays mostly roots and fifths, so the notation may help elucidate the chord progression.
