Verse: (similar patterns)
Em Bm A Em
Don't stop to run. She can fly like a lie she can't be out done.
Tell me the cost. I can pay, let me go(?), tell me love is not lost.
Sell everything. Without love in the dream, insanities king(?).
Chorus:
Em F#m Em F#m Am Bm (Bm?) Em
I will pay, Day by day, anyway, lock bolt and key.
Verse:
Em Bm A Em
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time, I was learning to see.
Cool Jam (I think it follows the verse pretty close)
Help on the Way. Well I know all of this, I got ya today.
Don't fly away. Cause I love what I love and I want it that way.
Chorus:
Em F#m Em F#m Am Bm (Bm?) Em
I will stay, one more day, like I say, honey it's you.
Verse:
Em Bm A Em
Makin it too, Without love in the dream, it'll never come true.
Then it starts Slipknot about here...
THE REAL SLIPKNOT: IS IN THE KEY OF Fm
It's a little harder for beginners I think...
requires a certain technique with pinky finger, arpeggios and minor pentatonic visulization
on the fretboard, however with this you already have all the Slipknot song :D
and we'll separate in
Fm triad, Cm triad, Gm triad, Dm triad;
C diminished scale, D diminished scale;
minor 7 arpeggios (R, flat 3, 5, flat 7)
AND THE RIFF IS A MINOR PENTATONIC
LIKE THIS:
Starts with Fm chord in Am shape (8º fret) down up down up
then go to the riff:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------5------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------6---8p6-5--------------5---------------------------------------| (x4)
A|---\8----------------------6------8----------------------------------|
E|-------------------------8-------------------------------------------|
^ ^
^ ^
^ ^
F minor triad C minor triad
(F Ab C)
Then very quickly we'll go to the C diminished scale
(as you may know diminished scales are built off minor third intervals)
e|--------------------------8-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------7--10-----10-7-----10--7--------7------------------------|
G|--------5--------8-----------------8--------8---------8---------------------|
D|------6----8//10-------------------------------10--------10--7-8------------|
A|---/8-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
^
C note*
Moved riff a whole step up
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------7------------7------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------8---10-8-----8---10--8--------7---------------------------------------------|
A|---\10-----------10--------------8-----10.----------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------10--------------------------------------------------|
^ ^
^ ^
^ ^
G minor triad D minor triad
Then you move again a whole step up that same shape of C diminished scale leading to
D diminished scale!!!
e|--------------10----------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------9--12-------------------------------------------|
D|------10------------------------------------------------|
A|---\12--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
Then from there sliding to:
Em arpeggio Bm7 arpeggio F# minor 7
e|------12/---------------17--14----------------------------------|
B|------12-----------------------15--------17--14-----------------|
G|------12--------------------------16------------14--------------|
D|---14-----------------------------------------------16----------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Play those same shapes one full step down
Am7 starting on G (e high 15 fret) // Em7
