Beck - Lost Cause (cover)

My bathroom in Seoul, South Korea 2006. Cort Parkwood 310-R.

I have played this very incorrectly in my video. Beck doing it the way it's supposed to be done here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqNuL7GKr-g

Copy and paste this text in Notepad to see it properly (or set to Courier New in Microsoft Word):

Fmaj7 C C/B

-----------0------|---------|-----------
-------1----------|-------1-|-------1---
---2-----------2--|---0-----|---0-------
-----3-------3----|-----2---|-----0-----
------------------|-3-------|-2---------
-1-------1--------|---------|-----------

I do the weird A chord like this:

A*

-5-----3---3----|
-2-----2---2----|
----------------|
-----2-------2--|
-0-------0------|
----------------|

To do the finger position, put your index finger on the 2nd fret, middle finger on the 3rd fret and pinky on the 5th fret. X means no fingers touch. Like this:
2 3 5
2 x x
2 x x
2 x x
x x x
x x x

The lyric's "You're a lost cause". Jesus, why does every cover geek on Youtube get it wrong? The chicks aren't gonna think you're any deeper by changing the lyrics

[sugarkang]

@charlypatton You're right. The world would be a better place if nobody made any mistakes. It's "Charley Patton" or "Charlie Patton" by the way.

[charlypatton]

@sugarkang Actually smartass, it can be found to be spelled in all 3 ways. But I only spelled it that way because the rest were taken already. But may I say your smarmy intellect is incredibly threatening!! Yikes!! I'm sorry if you're also one of these geeks who only learns guitar to impress women and I damaged your fragile ego with my comment. They're not making mistakes, they changed it intentionally to seem 'deeper'. That was my only point

[sugarkang]

@charlypatton Fine point indeed. I look forward to your pedantry in the future.

At the end of second verse, between FIGHTING FOR A LOST CAUSE and TIRED OF FIGHTING, you play two little high chords - would you be able to let me know which they are, please?

I love the version - very placid...which could be to do with being in the bathroom!

[sugarkang]

i wish i knew. i haven't played guitar in over a year. sorry about that.

You sound great in this. Great voice and well played. Maybe a better location for the video would give better lighting?

[psilver]

[iseeeverythinginmono]

This is a rather nice cover indeed. I am rather glad I stumbled upon it. I do wish to watch more of your videos. I shall do that now. I sure hope you've got more Beck songs:)

@sugarkang Dude. This cover is amazing. Whenever I play and sing this song I just think of this cover and this is the level I want to get at. For the love god I hope you've started playing guitar again.

[bash5152]

this cover would have been amazing if it wasn't in a bathroom
