does anyone know the chords for this song? I'm trying to figure it out on my own but nothing is sounding right.

[macanguish]

@kaylaConspriacy Marian doesn't advertise her chords... and mostly uses pain-in-the-butt 7ths, 9th, adds, and the like. ;-)

Thank you all for the kind words and 5-star votes! Also, it's Marian Call's birthday today! Happy B-Day MC!!

@macanguish --too bad we don't know when "today" is !

[macanguish]

@durgaaa Just some incentive for you to look her up on Wikipedia! ;-)

This is my new favorite song! Really well-done video. I especially like the juxtaposition of Wash flying versus Mal and Inara dancing. I've always thought a good flight should be like a dance in the clouds.

I know a girl named Zoe who sang this... you rock chicky, if you read this! This song is my favorite ever.

i descovered this song when i was in the army and overseas, and had been traveling a lot over 4 years, and it made me think of my sister who kept telling me to come home for good.

@thenepol The song was actually written for the series. It's possible to interpret "in the black" to mean "out of debt," the economic meaning, but like "It was Good for You, Too," this is actually a Firefly filk.  Lucky you, finding out about such an incredible series by chance!

@kaylaConspriacy Refrain (different):

C w/ 6th, Dsus2, A w/ 2nd, Em min7 (baseline B), D, Dm, A w/ 2nd

C w/ 6th, Dsus2, A w/ 2nd, F, C, D with 4, G

Repeat the above.

Intro stuff (watch for Em add9 instead of Esus4 at around 4:29).

Ends on A.

[ecksc]

@kaylaConspriacy The whole thing:

Intro: Esus4 (like an A power chord with baseline E), Em add 9

Verse: A, Am (x3), Em add9, F, G

Refrain: C w/ 6th, Dsus2 (? maybe an Asus4), Em add9, Em/D no E (just play 4 top strings open), G, Dm, Esus4,

C w/ 6th, Dsus2, A, F, C, Dsus2, G,

Bridge:

Esus4, Em add9, Esus4, Em add9, Esus4, D with 4, Em, A, Am, D with 4, F maj7, G,
