Sittin' In Limbo
(Cliff/Bright)


C
Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long.
F                                            C
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song.
             G
Well they're putting up resistance,
      F            G                  C
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll.
Sitting here in limbo, got some time to search my soul.
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

Bridge:
        F                    C
I don't know where life will lead me,
      F               C
But I know where I've been.
        F                  C
I can't say what life will show me,
      F              C
But I know what I've seen.
         Em               Am
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
        Em                 Am
But all that is passed and gone.
D                          G
 This little boy is moving on.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the tide to flow.
Sitting here in limbo knowing that I have to go.
Well they're putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

The chords look good, except in the chorus the E is a Em.
great song!

Yep, you're right, my bad. Funny, I actually play an Em when playing the song, so don't know how that E slipped in there.

No problem, just don't try sliipin' any Augmented chords...

Code: Select all

B ---3^5--3--1-
G -------------
D ---3^5--3--2-

apply that theory to different chords as you please...its just a little harmonic movement between 2 different chord voicings

PostPosted:**Wed Dec 12, 2007 8:58 pm**

This is how I see Jerry doing it

E|----------------------------------
B|-------5b-------3--1--------1-----
G|----------5-----------0-----------
D|--3s5--------5--3--------2--------
A|-------------------3-----------3---
E|----------------------------------

Bar the 5th fret with your ring finger and add some vibrato(bend) to all those 5th fret notes. Let the second 5 note ring out. The last 2 of the 5th fret notes are 1/8 notes and played softly while still wiggling the bar chord. I expect Santa to bring a web cam and this is first on my list along with a lead I have worked out.

Lead starts out like this

E|--15r13r12------12------------------------------------12------12-------------------------
B|------------15------15--13------13--15---------13h15------15------15--13-----13----------
G|----------------------------14----------12h14-----------------------------14-----14------
