Sinister: Guitar chords from The Boy...

[Reid]

On a slow Saturday afternoon last week, I figured out three of the
easier songs on, erm, the "new album" and I wrote them all down for Mr.
Mitchell's sheet music department of the Sinister page, but they're
still not there.  Not to say that Paul's done anything wrong...I mean,
anyone with the nickname of "Honey" is sure to be too busy for such
trivial matters.

So what I'm getting to here, is that I have the chords to these songs,
and I'll give them to you here in a very basic form.  I have them all in
the usual, more detailed form, with the chords above the lyrics, and I'd
be happy to forward them to anyone who wants, and I'll be especially
happy to forward them to anyone who won't be afraid to tell me that I'm
wrong.

This is what I've got:

"Is It Wicked Not to Care" (chord shapes):
(capo on first fret)
G/C/G/C/G/D for the verses
Am/D for the chorus: "If there was a sequel"...

"The Boy With The Arab Strap":
It's just G and C pretty much all the way through, and then D for the
turns ("You're the boy with the filthy (D)laugh, you're the boy with the
arab (G) strap").  The trick part is hammering onto the 2nd string,
first fret (C) when you play the G chord, in that "Crazy Little Thing
Called Love" thing.

"The Rollercoaster Ride"
The verses are just D and G.
The choruses are A/G/A/G/Bm/G/D/G
I'm not entirely sure about the chorus, but it sounds okay to me.  Let
me know if I have it wrong.
