Help Is Coming Lyrics

- -Guitar Tablature- -
Crowded House - "Help Is Coming" :
from the 'fterglow' lbum
Chords:
Gm7: 353333
Dm: 557765
Dm/E: 557755
Ebm: 668876
C7: 335353
Gm/Eb: 355343
nb: instead of , could use chord as this is easier on fingers
It could be useful to use a Capo on the 3rd fret, although not necessary.
The main chord changes go from 'Gm - Dm - C7' throughout the
song for most verses.
When playing solo on the guitar, there are variations on the last third
that could be played to give a livelier feel:
eg. Gm - Dm - 'G7 - Gm7 - Dm' or
Gm - Dm - 'Dm/E - Dm - C7' or even
etc.etc
Gm - Dm - 'Gm - Gm/E - Dm'
Furthermore, on the Gm chord throughout the song, you could also add a pattern like
rather than strumming the one chord at time
just bar the 3rd fret
In the song, Neil just plays the single chord on the guitar whilst the instruments play
variations giving different harmonics. The above are ideas when playing solo to provide
such harmonic variances.
