Chords/Tabulature for
Theme From Dead Man
Submitted by: Preston Nichols (pnichols@alleg.edu)
Notes about this song:
- These are the chords for the acoustic accompaniment for the Theme from
Dead Man, which was used for the opening and closing titles of the
film, for Jim Jarmusch's music video, and on various promotional CDs.
It was not included on the the "Music from and inspired by..." CD
(to the consternation of millions).
- Play this along with track 11 of the Dead Man CD, or at
least parts of it.
- Maybe the meter should be 6/4?
- Maybe you want to play the Bm as (xx4432) and the F# (x4322)
so that you can open or hammer on the 6th string for some of the melody
notes, or something.
- Maybe the Em7 should be something like G6 (the only difference
being the bass note).
- Maybe the Bbaug should be different (or named differently)?
I'm pretty sure about the (...332); the melody has an E, but I think
it's just a passing note, and the harmony has an F# (Bb-D-F#).
I could be wrong though.
