[punkpop102]

@ausonebastard By key he means the key the song is written.It's usualy the last chord of the song.

[oscarcontraband]

OMARACAS!

[spencerinomusic]

:\ you can hear the cigarettes starting to take their toll on Charlie.

[Greenie961]

@spencerinomusic He had a cold.

[bannanasheep]

@FStar9 its in standard tuning i play capo 5 but thats just me

[sambalightning]

savage milk wrote this wtf

[Sabrinalovesyouxx]

i love fightstar :):) met them once dream come true :):)

[KingRhysy]

@FStar9

Considering that on the original song the first chord of the verse is a G#, and the first chord of this is an A, It's a semitone up to the original. I think. So A?

[kingshott1]

this is pretty terrible tbh, was expecting a lot better

[Pianist53]

@FStar9 It's in C major.

[flameboy5678]

poor omar!

[YeahPaulDay]

@FStar9 standard tuning verse - Am, C, G, F Chorus - Fmin7 (i think) C, G

[hlfsinger]

this song is in standard tuning.

[zzyzxDUFFY]

Charlie well had a sore throat when this was filmed :L

[rickmassacre]

@zzyzxDUFFY yeah but it still sounds amazing and "charlie" like.

[hvrocker2]

I love how the entire band is involved in acoustic preformances :)

[ausonebastard]

Yeah baby! especially Omar with his maracas!!! This guies are epic!!

[weejulie1855]

Charlie Simpson is just so hot!

[Devilspunisher]

i aint sure about guitars, but i know dans bass is usually CGCF.

[FStar9]

@Devilspunisher ok thanks for your help!

:D:D:D

x x x

[KraZerrrBTD]

@FStar9 yeah live performance's are normally in C i dunno why they just are.

[FStar9]

@ausonebastard  Yer i was talking bout tuning :D

i thougt it was normal as well !

thanks anyway!

[Tennesy125]

I will marry Charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[brighteratnight]

I don't know if its cos he's more unshaven than usual or if his pallor is sickly or something but his brows are in like FULL FORCE during these sessions holy shhhhh. He just looks rough in general :( Whatever, props for still knocking it out of the park.

[sunchild90]

he just wheezes though the high notes

[xgoldlion07x]

omar is amazing on the maracas :D

[KirkMcDermott]

This is one of my favourite songs!

And is it just me or does his sore throat sound quite sexy? :)

[6661Carl]

Definitive proof that he says 'I hope the sea is just as blue'. Poor ill Chalie, haha.

[joeyseph07]

Chords are Am C G F, play bar chords!

[Randomer1128]

sounds like he has a sore throat poor guy

[ShaolinPete]

Haha it sounds like he says "I'm a fight-star" at the beginning

[bearisbest]

fricking awesome version of song!!

does anyone know the chords for this? or where they are? i can pick out a few but theyre weird ones like:

12 0 12 10 12 0 and

12 0 12 10 0 12 but not sure about the rest. pleeease help, gracias! x

[bearisbest]

wait its:

12 0 12 10 12 0 then

12 0 0 12 10 12 an maybe a Am in there too...

[ausonebastard]

For my part I think that the first chord is :

x 12 10 12 0 0

and then:

x 10 12 12 0 0

[richardoasis]

is it drop c?

[ausonebastard]

No I think that's standard tuning or something like tune down 1/2 step...

[gnrboy]

The album version is in drop C#, this one is in standard.

[baza73]

chorus is emajor, emajor, b major, fsharp bar

[gerra8]

i think charlie might have a cold or something

cause on the little oooh's he doesnt go very high

and his voice just sounds a bit croakey

yes?

no?

what people think?

x

[emy18kay]

definately sounds a bit cold-y, bless him :(

just wanna give him a big cuddle :D

[FSfan4eva]

who doesnt wanna give him a big cuddle? ;D

[emy18kay]

A very good point ;) lol

[SamOwenI]

I love this version of the song. Charlie sings so amazingly. Well played Fightstar.
