Question for the guitarists out there

mxr · 12-22-2006, 03:22 AM

Does anybody know what chords Billy uses for the chorus in the cover of 'Once In A Lifetime'? I've scoured the net for a tab but can't find one anywhere...

i might be mistaken, but i think that's the verse you're talking about.

i believe the OP may be referring to the "into the blue again" part.

am i right?

the song is in drop C i think, but i'm pretty sure the chorus chords are as follows:

|--X---------X--------------------
|--0---------0-----------------------
|--2---------0--------------------
|--2---------2--------------------
|--0---------2---------------------
|--X---------0----------------------

Thanks all... I've just been trying to hammer it out, and one hefty headache later I think I've got it down.

D'arcy's bass tone is much missed!
