Lesson 4: Decode by Paramore

Decode by Paramore

For my student, Jana

Remember the lesson on eighth notes and Leyenda? This is just the same. Use p on bass notes (in this case it's all "la") and alternate i and m on the treble notes.

Note: Intro is transposed an octave lower. Jana can only sight read first position notes on the guitar. 
Right Hand Symbols: p - thumb, i - index, m - middle 


These are the Chords:

Left Hand Symbols: 1 - index, 2 - middle, 3 - ring finger


Make four strums of each chord above. They go with these lyrics:

FM7                                      Am/D

How can I decide what's right? 

                                               Am

When you're clouding up my mind 

                                   Em

Can't win your losing fight all the time 

FM7                                        Am/D

Not gonna ever own what's mine 

                                               Am

When you're always taking sides 

                                         Em

You wont take away my pride 

                   FM7      Am/D

No not this time 

                Am          Em

Not this time 

Same thing with the Chorus:

FM7           

How did we get here? 

Am/D                     Am      Em

I use to know you so well 

FM7

How did we get here? 

Am/D                     Am     Em       *Am       G    Em

Well, I think I know

*Do four strums of Am, 3 strums G and 1 Em. You still remember how to do a G, right? =)

Same chords FM7-Am/D-Am and Em (4 strums each) for the next verse and chorus (except the highlighted blue bit after the chorus):

The truth is hiding in your eyes 

And its hanging on your tongue 

Just boiling in my blood, 

But you think that I can't see 

What kind of man that you are 

If you're a man at all 

Well, I will figure this one out on my own 

(I'm screaming "I love you so..." But my thoughts you can't decode) 

How did we get here? 

I use to know you so well 

How did we get here? 

Well, I think I know

Guitar Solo: Do same chords above FM7 - Am/D - Am - Em (twice)

Next:

Chords above are for these part:

You can do four strums each or 2 longer ones.

            FM7                    Dm

Do you see what we've done? 

                                         Am                Em

We're gonna make such fools of ourselves 

            FM7                      Dm

Do you see what we've done? 

                                         Am               Em

We're gonna make such fools of ourselves 

Then back to basic chords:

FM7-Am/D

       Am      Em

Yeah 

FM7                             Am/D 

How did we get here?

                               Am         Em 

I use to know you so well 

FM7                           Am/D

How did we get here?

                                       Am          Em 

Well, I use to know you so well

Lastly, do this chord pattern on the last part of the song:

Do one strum each on FM7-G-Am/D-Am-FM7-Am7 and a longer one on Em on this part of the song:

FM7 G Am/D Am FM7 Am7 Em

I think I know 

FM7 G Am/D Am FM7 Am7 Em

I think I know 

FM7      G  Am/D    Am FM7 Am7 Em

There is something that I see in you 

FM7      G  Am/D    Am FM7 Am7 Em

It might kill me I want it to be true 

And end with an Am/D =)
