Subject: CRD: "My Life Is Right" (Big Star)
And here we have another great unknown pop gem from the band whose
entire career was based on obscurity. Notes:
1) The Eb in the verses isn't realy a chord, it's just a walkup note.
All you have to do is play the 1st fret on the D string. That's
it. I'd put it in TAB, but it'd be lonely, since it's the only
bit in that area that requires it. So just remember: Eb=1st fret,
D string. Got it? Good.
2) There is some very cool acoustic 12-string guitar stuff going on
underneath the "You give me light" part, but I can't get it
exactly. Here is a rough approximation:
[tab] E---------------|---0----|-----------------|-----|
B---------------|---2----|-----------------|-----|
G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2----|-4p2p0---------2-|-(2)-|
D-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-|--------|-------4p2p0---2-|-(2)-|
A-0-0-0-3h4-----|--------|-------------3p0-|-(0)-|
E---------------|--------|-----------------|-----|
q E E E E E E E q.^H e3e3e e3e3e q q (w)[/tab]
This isn't exact, and that's last bit sounds like "Unskinny Bop"
by Poison (yeah, I know, it's really "I Know A Little" by
Skynyrd), so I don't like it. But this is as good as I can do
with this bit.
3) "My life's fun is wild?" Bell didn't really say that, did he?
Well, it's the best *I* can do with it. Any better suggestions are
welcome.
4) There is a piano in here, mostly doing the chords.
5) The vocal harmonies are a large part of this (and almost every Big
Star) song. The most amazing bit comes during the "So right" part.
The backing vox (singing "right") go from G to F# over the G-D
change, and then they go back up from F# to G over the D-A
change, making the A chord an amazing dominant 7th. This is, of
course, a very basic expanation of what is going on here. I'm
sure it's a lot more complicated, but this'll get you started.
