TEARS FOR FEARS - "everybody wants to rule" Tablature

Official TEARS FOR FEARS Tablature & Sheet Music »

From: Marc Virata <youtwo@nevada.edu>

This is one in a list of Tears For Fears chords that was sent to me by
Keith <SEIFERTK@NCCCOT2.AGR.CA>, who took the time out to figure them
out. I figured I'll go ahead and post/archive them if anyone's
interested. I made a tiny suggestion and came up with a mock solo on
this one.

I was just cruising by this section and I saw this song by Tears which
I've been playing on guitar for a few years. I checked out the chords
and I'm sure you'll be happy to know that they're a little different
than previously posted (at least the key is right!)

Wherever it is written E minor, the band actually plays Emin9 (a much
richer sounding chord). Also, the G in those verses are actually
Gmaj7. Finally, the A which follows the G (actually Gmaj7) is really
an A6, which is not surprising since the opening riff of the song is
a sixth arpeggio over the A. No need to tune down either, since the
bass string is played open on the Eminor9
