Tears For Fears - Everybody wants to rule



This is one in a list of Tears For Fears chords that was sent to me by 
Keith , 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.


Everybody Wants to Rule the World

transcribed by Keith 
 
Intro: 4 times |A/D G/D- -| |
        A/D G/D

(Keith suggests tuning the E bass string down to a 'D' to get the bass
rhythm to the song)

(I like to use (xx022x) for A/D and (xx000x) for G/D)

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
