Feist - "Inside And Out" from the album Let It Die
===================================================
*Chords for solo guitar, with thoughts on chord voicings*
This is meant to be a transcription of the album version in 4/4 time,
super cool 70s drum beat, etc, not the waltzy acoustic live version,
though arranged with an acoustic guitar in mind.
----Verse 1-----
Am11/E
Baby I can't figure it out, your kisses taste like honey

Thoughts on the chords:

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/feist/inside_and_out_crd_ver_2.html ]
****
Am11/E * I'm calling this Am11 even though there's no 7th, because
0 X it's the best I could reason. Use that second "chord" as the
1 3 alternating melody line in the intro. Obviously add in the
2 2 A-C-D bass line at the appropriate place.
(0) X

0 X

Cmaj7 I think it's nicer to leave the E on the A string out for this,
0 make it less muddy and helps emphasize the major 7th because...->

X (use a different voicing [shown later] for chorus Cmaj7)

C7 ->...you almost want that Cmaj7 to sound like the B is on top to
0 make smooth voice leading from the B to the Bb. The piano REALLY
1 emphasizes that Bb in the second verse (see C7!)

****
A7 If you decide to use the 7th in the first verse, I suggest this
0 voicing. In the second verse (A7!), it sounds more like the G
2 should be on top (3rd fret, high e string). The piano actually
(2) leads it like so: G E C#. Pull off the G on the e string to an
2 open e, then emphasize the C# on the 2nd fret, B string.

****
Dm7 I think this barre chord voicing works nicely. Use the high A at
(5) the end of the second verse (before the chorus) and during the
6 chorus.

G7 Fairly standard voicing, might want to come up with something
1 different. What I really can't decide is the G6 that comes next,
0 or whether it's a G6 at all. Let up on the 7th (F, 1st fret,
0 high e string) and see what you think. The "6" (which is the E)
0 is emphasized in the vocal anyway.

****
A7b9 Edim/A These two are actually the same chord just voiced
6 3 differently (because of the relationship of the notes
5 2 in a full diminished chord) but I'll name them separate
6 3 for clarity. Make sure to voice the melody on top of the
5 2 the chord on the guitar (Bb, A, G, F). Do this as you see
0 0 fit with the A7 and the Dm in that descending sequence.
(5) (5) Keep that steady 8th note bass line with the open A.
****
G^ Just a nice higher voicing for the pre-chorus line and chorus.
7 Keeps the B on top of the chord. Obviously just add a low open E
8 for the G^/E. You might also look at this chord as an Em7, and
7 you might also try an Em9 (add an F# on top, 7th fret B string).

5 Typical jazz minor 7th voicing. Bar your ring finger across
5 the top four strings, middle finger on the low string.

Fmaj7/G Might also be called Gmaj13, probably easier to think of it
(0) as Fmaj7/G though. In all honesty, not sure about this chord.

Cmaj7* Another typical maj7 voicing but I think any maj7 will

Cm7 So here it almost sounds appropriate just to alternate between
X the notes. Let them ring. Choose the position to play it on.
X Same pattern for that bass line "walk": A, Bb, B, C.

6 6 6 Might be interesting on the fourth measure to make
5 5 5 the Dm a half diminished (Ab instead of A in the
7 7 7 chord), though maybe not authentic.
