G Am F#dim G G G
G Am Bm C C C
C C D Em Em Em
C b' D g G
You,
G G G
You and I made a pact
G Am F#dim G G G
A deal that as we lay dying
G Am Bm C C C
We'd think about eachother then
C C D Em Em Em
And smile as we're taken in
C D G
I,
G G G
I listened like a little child
G Am F#dim G G G
To the story of your earthbound pilot
G Am Bm C C C
he plummeted so violent
C C D Em Em Em
A parachute not opening
Em G Am Bm C' C C
And rushing to oblivion
C C D Em
He broke into that knowing grin
C b' D g G
Now it's a variety of chords played in their individuals notes in descending order (not really sure on these):
G (g' d b g) x4
Em (g' e b g) x3
E (g#' e b g#) x4
Am (a' e c a) x4
D (f#' d a f#) x3
G (g' d b g)
then something tricky here I'm not sure on.
And I,
G G G
I think about that a lot
G Am F#dim G G G
Cause a lot is what i've not got
G Am Bm C C C
And a smile is what I least expect
C C D Em Em Em
In the clutches of this darkness
C D G
You,
G G G
You I was surprised to hear
G Am F#dim G G G
Your birdsong velvet in my ear
G Am Bm C C C
The phone broke its silent stint
C C D Em Em Em
But I pulled the cord and I needed it
Em G Am Bm C' C C
You billowed like a bowl of silk
C C D Em Em Em
And slowed me from my ruining
C D G
same descending chords:
G (g' d b g) x4
Em (g' e b g) x3
E (g#' e b g#) x4
Am (a' e c a) x4
D (f#' d a f#) x3
G (g' d b g)
then something tricky here I'm not sure on.
then it seems like the ending is just improvised over the chords so do whatever you want here.

Hey Rosetta! - Psalm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADZ6UY0H1KM
In the key of D major
It's basically just the same sequence over and over again, 3 chords, pause, 5 chords, pause. Timing is a little strange, the pause is 2 beats, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2...
Here are the right hand chords-
But often it happens you know
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
That the things you don't trust are the ones you need most
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
So it's cautiously into the dark
Bm A D/F# pause 3 beats
And you see before long that your eyes will adjust
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
And under the night you can hear
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
The full moon rise like a psalm in the air
Bm A G/B D/F# A pause 3 beats (D/F# and A on upper register)
And the air goes
G G/B
Into your lungs
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
And around in your heart and on through your blood
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
It goes cautiously into the dark
Bm A D/F# 3
And you see before long that we all have a part
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
And under your skin you can feel
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
That the fear that you feel is what will set you free
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
Set you free
G G/B
Here are the melody notes for the horn:
DEF#
F#EGF#E
EEF#F#GAA
(low)ABC#C#DEEF#GGABAGF#E
EF#GAAGF#F#
AGGAF#F#GE
F#D
play these in the right hand with corresponding chords in the left hand on the beats.
And under the night you can hear
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
The full moon rise like a psalm in the air
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
And the air goes
G G/B
into your lungs
Bm A D/F#
I hope this is mostly correct. Also I think technically notation like "D/F#" is supposed to mean you play F# in the bass on the left hand but I am only using it to say make F# the bass in the right hand. The left hand should still be playing D.
For the left hand it's just single notes (or octaves): B-A-D, then B-A-G-D-A (and G for the "air...goes..." part. During the 2-3 beat pauses, keep the beat up lightly in the left hand- so B-A-D-D-D, B-A-G-D-A-A-A-A, etc...you can mix it up and throw in some right hand chords during those pauses too, Tim does.

Blog Purpose
I've been learning some songs on the piano, either by figuring them out myself or getting my piano teacher (who is far better at that sort of thing) to do it. I'm making this blog so I can share the results, and to maybe get help if there's anything I did wrong.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
