Has anyone worked on the song "Bluefinger" yet? There are some interesting chords on it, like that one that plays at the very beginning, and the reggae sounding one right as he sings "I came down from the top"

I'd like to see you guys tear this one apart!

I like to complain

i've quickly jotted down the chords i've just heard, but alot of them need beefing up with add9/maj7s etc. Ziggy's normally good at this sort of thing. the intro and the riff after verse 1 needs a little bit of patience to work out but i'm short of that at the moment so have a go at that if you like.

  C        G           Em           Am
I am a Bluefinger from up on the hill
 C             G            Em            Am
Above the dark water that's flowing there still
   C          G        Em         Am
My blood is Isala, and I'd rather swill
       Em            Am         Em          Am
I came down from the top, and I drank every drop

       C                G           Am            Em
I went through the Sassengate and I got on the train
    C          G    Am           Em
The Pepperbox bell, blowing my brains
      Cadd9      G            Am         Em
But I made it go quicker with Spanish cocaine
      Am             Em         Am          G
And I looked at the cows, and I made solemn vows

If my     choices are poor
        Cadd         Am            Dm         G7
Well, I made them (I made them)  I made them (made them)
    C    F   G
And who's    knocking on my door?
  C          Am   B*    Cadd9
I paid them,    I paid them

I don't need the do not disturb me sign
    C       G         Am        Em   
The manager here is a friend of mine
   C           G       Am       Em   
So baby, let's go just one more time
      Am      Em           Am          G
I'm a jumping jack to this thing on my back


    C   F       G
And all   of my choices were pure
        Cadd9        Am            Dm         G7
Yeah, I made them (I made them)  I made them (made them)

That's great, fbc. I was playing this earlier (not very well either) but now it sounds a hundred times better!
