ORDINARY WORLD (Duran Duran)
Here is the easily recognizable guitar melody. It's done with an
acoustic through most of the song, but the last time it's electric.
Use a single finger on the high E string and slide it down the string
when changing frets.
E---12-12-12-12---11-11-11---9-9-9-7-7-----14-14-14-14---12-12-12---|
E---11-11-11-9-9---7-7-0-7-0-7-0-7-0----0-5-0-5-0-5-0-5-------------|
The verses are: C#m (446654) E (022100) B (224442)
C#m E B C#m
"Passion or coincidence/once prompted you to say/"Pride will tear
E B
us both apart..."
The bridge is: C#m (446654) G#m (466444) B (224442) E (022100)
C#m G#m B
"What is happening to me?/Crazy some say.../Where is my friend when
E E
I need you most?/Gone away..."
And the chorus: B (224442) F#m (244222) A (002220) E (022100)
B F#m A
"And I don't cry for yesterday,/there's an ordinary world,/somehow I
E B F#m A
have to find...And as I try to make my way/to the ordinary world/I will
E
learn to survive..."
Those chords also fit over that melody tabbed above. I do not have a
tabbing for the short acoustic break between verses 1 & 2. (Any
volunteers out there?)
