Lookin' Up in Heaven

[rankel]

Does anyone have an idea about the chords for this one? This is my favorite from the new album (23 Years ago close second) but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Any help, anyone? Thanks.

1/2 step down

C then descending down to Am D G D C i believe. dont have the guitar in front of me.. but thats the verse.

[rankel]

Thanks for the help. I'll try it out and figure out the chorus.

also put your capo on the 4th fret. pretty basic stuff, but the best stuff always is.

[Wolfdog]

ok....capo on 4..all positions relative to said capo..yadda, yadda, yadda
I play the Em with a pinky on the high E, 3rd fret

Verse:

G - Em - D - C - D - C - G

Chorus: there's a picking pattern, cant write it out, gotta feel it - might be missing something here.

E--0--0--0--0--0--0--2--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--3
B--1--1--1--1--1--1--3--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0
G--0--0--0--0--0--0--2--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0
D--2--0--2--2--2--0--0--2--0--2--2--2--0--2--0
A--3--2--0--X--3--2--X--3--2--0--X--3--2--0--2
E--X--X--X--3--X--X--X--X--X--X--3--X--X--X--3

Bridge:

Em - G - Am - C

Hey, thanks guys for all the help. Since my initial post I've been trying a whole bunch of stuff. For a while I even thought he was using one of those weird addG or b6sus2 chords he uses sometimes (i.e. Baby learns to Crawl). Don't ask me why, but for some reason I got it into my head that was it. I know, sometimes I get weird ideas like that.

Now I know it was all the capo. I didn't think of that, but should since he normally uses it on the 3rd fret. or in this case 4th.

Did you guys see the performance on AOL sessions? I think he places the capo on the 3rd. I might be wrong though...

Anyway, thanks for everything

huh... here's how i play the chorus of the song with capo on 4 tuned down half step.

-------3----------------------------3--------
------------3----------------------------3----
-----------------0---------------------------0-
------------------------------------------------
-3-------------------------2-------------------
------------------------------------------------ reapeat this bar 3 times fingerstyle using your thumb for the base notes.


and then....
again, fingerstyle only it's obvious that you strum for this part.
hope this helps!
