Ashlee Simpson
"Shadow"
Well, I've met with several versions of Shadow on this site that don't satisfy
me as much, and me being the biggest Ashlee Simpson lover in town (yeah, sounds
weird for a 'Tallica fan), I might as well throw in my effort on this one.
This are the chords (I THINK) you actually need to play:
(Mostly so you can do the 'fill-ins' the guitar has on the intro and verses).

**on A7, you can let all other strings ring except for high-E, it'll sound cool, specially at the end**

G
I was six years old
G7
When my parents went away
C A7
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
G
She was beautiful
G7 C
She had everything and more
A7
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
C Asus4
Somebody listen please
C Asus4
It used to be so hard being me
G
Living in the shadow
G7
Of someone else's dream
C F
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
G
Living in a nightmare
G7
A never-ending sleep
C
But now that I am wide awake
F
My chains are finally free
G
Don't feel sorry for me

Living in the shadow

C A7 G [arpeggio]
Living in, living in, living in a new day

I might have gotten something wrong, if so, then leave it at the comment box... but
try playing along the record, and then try doing it without the record, and you'll
see these notes fit better than any others right now at Ultimate-Guitar.
