My best friend is getting married in April and, though I'm not the best singer or keyboard player, I really want to sing this to them on their special day.

Can someone help me with the chords? I would reeeaaally appreciate it. Smile

The second set sounds about right to me. That Eb#5 is a pain, and it took a lot of practice for me to be able to play it in time.

Thank you so much! I'll start working on it tonight. I have a little over a month to get it down. Smile

The Eb#5 (I guess you could call it D# augmented) doesn't seem to make sense in the music. I haven't listened to the voice leading carefully, but I think B7 makes a lot more sense. It's acting as a secondary dominant chord to Em (hence the pull of D# to E).

Plus, B7 is a lot easier to play.

I think we need more posted chords to The Valley songs in general, haha.

Right, the chord is definitely Bm7 with a D-sharp as the bass note (first inversion).

Also, the chords for the verses aren't quite right -- all the chords are 7 chords. So the verses go: Em7 -- Am7 -- G7 (G major with an F-sharp note) -- and C7 (with a B-natural note in there).

i thought G7 was with an F note. Not F#?

On guitar G7 is played (from bottom up)
1
0
0
0
2
3

The one is F


EDIT

I guess by reading your thing more closely, you meant Gmaj7 which would then be F# right?

I know sometimes guitar and piano chords get a little different when you mention majors

Exactly -- I should have written Gmaj7 and Cmaj7. (Stacy's songs have lots of major-7 chords in them.)

That's Lovely! As it should be. And yeah, Kind is the kind of love song that should make people cry, it's a multi-faceted gem of a tune. All heart, no bs.
