Enclosed is my slightly different attempt at working out the basic chord
structure of this song — (taken from the acoustic version).
(I’ve done it as ‘corrections’ to the version you already had)
NEW TEST LEPER
the verse goes like this:
A*:540005
D A G -A* D A G (4x, me thinks)
(This bit is more or less right — though on the slide up to the fifth fret
I’m not sure if the bass notes are being played)
the chorus (im pretty sure about this) goes like this:
G A B C D C(3x) G A B C D (that may be wrong — it’s >from memory)
Bridge:
Bm A D(4x, me thinks)
and end on Em(7?)
I would guess the chorus is:
A, Bm, C#m, D
A, G (‘Call me a leper’)
(on last time — just A)
And the bridge I would say is:
(Bm, D, G X2), A
