If You Could Only See Tonic (Lemon Parade) Transcribed by Jeremy Buller Tuning - Standard, capo at 1st fret (All chords relative to capo position) _________________________________________________________________ Chorus (1st time played) Tempo: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Chord: Am C G G/F During the chorus you play this 3 times, and on the third time you strum the G/F once and hold it the rest of the measure. After the first chorus is played (at the very beginning) Jeff plays along with Em, but after strumming each chord once or twice he picks out different notes in the chord, here’s an example: E|--0-0-----------0---| B|--1-1--1-0----------| G|--2-2---------2-----| D|--2-2---------------| A|--0-0---------------| E|--------------------| The rest of the chords Jeff plays are picked in pretty much the same pattern. ________________________________________________________________________ Lead Guitar (between chorus and verse) E|---------------------------| B|--1-1--------5\3---3/10~~~-| G|--2-2--5\4-----------------| D|--2-2----------------------| A|---------------------------| E|---------------------------| When they played this live on Conan O’Brien Jeff played a variation of this riff, which I’m pretty sure went like this: E|-----------------------------------------------| B|--1-1-------------------8---8/10--10--10-10~~~-| G|--2-2--4/5\4----9\7---9---9--------------------| D|--2-2---------2--------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| ________________________________________________________________________ Verse E|----------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------| D|--5/7-7-7-7--X-X-X-5--7-7---5/7-7-7-7--X-X-X-5--7-7-| A|--5/7-7-7-7--X-X-X-5--7-7---5/7-7-7-7--X-X-X-5--7-7-| E|--3/5-5-5-5--X-X-X-3--5-5---3/5-5-5-5--X-X-X-3--5-5-| E|----------------------------0-----------------------| B|----------------------------1-----------------------| G|----------------------------0-----------------------| D|--2/3-3-3-3--X-X-X-2--3-3---2-----------------------| A|--2/3-3-3-3--X-X-X-2--3-3---3-----------------------| E|--0/1-1-1-1--X-X-X-0--1-1---3-----------------------| (Just strum this chord) Pre-Chorus This part is basically the same as the chorus, except you keep playing the G during the last measure instead of a G/F. After the first time though, it changes to Am, C, G, G/F, Am C, G, G. ________________________________________________________________________ Bridge/Guitar Solo The last chord in the chorus right before the solo is an E. After that last measure of the chorus, Em plays this: E F (barre) G Am (barre) You can play the G as a barre chord, but I prefer not to because the open G rings out a lot more; also, the reason for barring the others is so you can hear the high notes, and you can hear the high note in the G whether you play it open or not. Over Emerson’s rhythm, Jeff plays the solo, which is fairly easy with a little practice. For the solo, I thought it would be easier to read if the notes weren’t written relative to the capo position, so don’t play them a fret higher.
