Arethas Gold by Wild Sweet Orange

Standard Tuning
Capo 3
At certain parts of the song (*) he modifies the Am and Em chords. The strum 
pattern at these times is a constant so I’m posting the fingering at each strum 
when he does it. You’ll have to listen to know exactly where to do it.
I know there is a name for those chords in between but I am too lazy to look them 
up.
   Am (x11ish)   (x2)   Am (x1)    (x2)    then on to G
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------1---------1--------1---------1---------------------------------------|
G|------2------------------2---------2---------------------------------------|
D|------2---------2--------2-------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And now I’m too lazy to type it up again for Em. Just do pretty much the same 
things. For the beginning of the song it only has the top string of Em released 
for 3 strums and then later in the song just do the same thing as with the Am.
LOL – I also don’t feel like listening to the song again to put all the asterisk 
in there so if you hear something funny it probably should be one. I think there 
is a C chord with some modification too somewhere near the end. Anyways I hope 
this is good enough for ya’ll.


Em*                     Am*  G                               Em         
Over that new paved highway, there is a house where love was made.

Em                        Am     G                                D
Not with screaming and touching, but with the records quietly spinning.


           Em                            Am                 G
And it was Aretha’s gold. And it was the way you told me to just shut up and 
                
                D
try and enjoy myself.


               Em                    Am                 G    
But that I can never do, so now it’s ---?---blue, Oh it dreams and dreams 

                         D
and dreams and dreams of you.



C     G         C                G          C         G           Em
So if you can’t treat her like a woman then treat her like a baby doll.

C                    G         C       G             C              G
	Oh, and just leave her in that bedroom where he watched the summer 


           Em
tumble and fall.

(guitar technically isn’t playing, just drums and effects)
Em                            Am       G                             Em
Over the gardens, through the schools, she waits alone by a swimming pool.

Em                        Am   G                                      D
A storm is brewin’ in her soul. When did it start I like… to think… I know.


                Em                         Am
Well it was the summer night, a (?sweet as night just died?) She turned the 


G                                  D              
corner and I knew all was about to change.



           Em                             Am                   G
And then I kissed your mouth. I felt your past somehow. Oh and your whole 


                       D
life flashed before my eyes.

C     G           C                G          C        G              Em
So if you want to treat her like a woman then pick her up like a baby doll.

C                    G          C                    G         C
	And rock her gently and tell her that you’re sorry and then be 


G                  D
willing to let her go.


        C                            G               
Because you you’re as tameless as an ocean. I want to love you but 


Am                          Em
commotion, oh it ravages me whole.

       C                         G                              
Oh and me I’m as dramatic as the thunder. My lightning scares as she rolls 


Am                                 Em
over. Oh yes she needs to get some sleep.


During solo:         C   G   Am   Em

       C                              G                         
Oh and you, you’ll be as famous as an ocean. They’ll try to name you but 


Am                               Em
commotion, oh, it’ll ravage them whole.

    C                         G                                           
But me I’m as dramatic as the thunder. My lightning scares as she rolls 


Am                                 Em*      
over, oh yes she needs to get some sleep.
