All I Am

by dada From the album American Highway Flower
Transcribed by Jeff Matson (jdm7@cornell.edu)
as far as i can tell, this song is based almost exclusively around a simple
riff and a nice, easy picking pattern for the chorus. because i`m feeling
really lazy, i`m only going to provide these two parts, and let you folks
out there figure out what goes where in the song. if you have the album,
it`s really easy to do anyway.
Verse Chords
the key to this part is to alternate a Bm with a plain ol` second-fret
barre (222222) and then end with a G (355433)
Bm Bm (222222) Bm Bm (222222) Bm Bm (222222) G G
Chorus Picking
okay, now that you`ve mastered that part, here is my rough idea of the picking
that goes on in the chorus.
e -------0------------0------------0------------0---------
B ---3-----3------3-----3------3-----3------3-----3-------
G -----2-----2--0---0-----0--1---1-----1--0---0-----0-----
D -0------------------------------------------------------
^^^^^^^^^^^^
in some repetitions of the chorus
picking this part is omitted and a
G chord is struck, usually to lead
back into the verse chords.
As far as I can tell, the really fast parts are the same as the verse chords,
only faster and choppier.
if anyone feels like cleaning up or adding to this, please feel free.
