THE TIES THAT BIND i put the 'harmonic movement note' as transition note G# because it moves G to A. the root chord under that is really E. but that sounded too dominant, and lost the "transition" feel to get back to Am if returning to the verse or transition to F if heading into the verse. [intro] drum starts, bass after four... single bass notes sustained, just the roots from the verse... Am / F / C / G twice. paul with lead melody AND gary with muted root+chimey open strings over over a full verse [VERSE 1] Am F the ties that bind, are in your mind C G (notice! DO *NOT* PLAY G# here :) where you will find, your sanctuary Am F the ties that bind, are in your eyes C G [transition note G#] <<< note it only happens here!! and you will give yourself to me [CHORUS CHORDS] F C I smile, therefore you're happy G Am I ask, therefore you do F C I exist, in all your dreams, G... G# (transition note again!) therefore you are fulfilled [Verse 2] I will touch your inner flame you kneel to me I set you free The Binds that Tie are in your soul I placed them deep you gift control CHORUS [verse 3] And when we kiss, I stop your time in your sleep I make you mine and now you're wired to stay with me the Binds that tie have set you free CHORUS instrumental VERSE - if the mood is right springboard to adlib solo over CHORUS chords all hushed soft... arpeggio version of chords (gary) hushed vocals for the outro verse... [verse 4] the Ties that Bind you dream in peace I let you breathe your sweet release (stay on G... NO transition note) FINISH on resolution chord - gary slow down strum Am. and paul/ron sustain A
