Mellow Chords
by Steve
Mellow by Steve is a more advanced guitar song played in the key of C with a capo on the 3st fret. It uses the chords C, Ab, A, F, A2, Eb, Am, F#m, Bb, G and E. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
Most of this song is based around the chord of C. If there are no chords above the words then the chords are just:
| C | C Ab | lots of times.
If you are trying to recreate the guitar parts then capo at the 3rd fret and play:
| A | A F |.
On the A chords, keep moving between A and A2 by lifting off the finger that is on the B-string on the 2nd fret:
E|----0-------0-----
B|----2-------0-----
G|----2-------2-----
D|----2-------2-----
A|----0-------0-----
E|------------------
A A2
I owe it all
the love that broke my fall
it's deeper down
these feet know solid ground
Eb (C) C (A) (Bracketed chords are for )
Keep shaping me
Ab (F) Am (F#m)
Into the light I'll be
Bb (G) G (E)
So constantly
Am (F#m) Ab (F)
You've been so good to me
I hold the gold
inside me it won't get old
my heart is whole
the day you woke my soul
Eb (C) C (A)
Keep helping me
Ab (F) Am (F#m)
the sound is hard to see
Bb (G) G (E)
so faithfully
Am (F#m) Ab (F)
You are so good to me
Eb (C) C (A)
Intimacy
Ab (F) Am (F#m)
it won't stop grabbing me
Ab (F)
haven't you heard
G (E)
Jesus' words
Am (F#m) Ab (F)
they've been so good for me
The rest of the song just grooves around C (or A if you're using a capo).
