Kimbra - Cameo Lover
So the chords here are the shapes she uses when she plays it live.
She actually tunes her low E string up to an F for this song, i'd guess
so it can ring out and add a bit of body to all the quite prominent F
chords. It makes sense, but anyway, if you can't be doing with re-tuning
it's just a case of playing all the notes you would on the low E string
one fret up. I've tabbed out what they'd look like too just after the
main chord list, cause i'm nice like that.
Just for clarification, an asterisk (*) next to a chord indicates an
alternate shape or position for what is essentially the same chord,
so just refer to chord list if you want to be properly accurate (it can
be only a small difference but it can be quite important in the context).
You could also just play whatever shape or position you like of course,
its really down to YOUR artistic discretion. Always remember that.
One more note, Kimbra likes her jazz chords, and i like her for it.
But in the second chorus and the second time she sings 'love is like a
silhouette in dreams', she plays a C chord where there would usually
be an F6sus2 chord and it sounds a bit odd. If you dont want to do
that, you'd probably figure out anyway, you can just go ahead and
play that F6sus2 like I do. I really just noted that C in for the
sake of accuracy.
So heres your chord list:
Gm7 Fmaj7 Bb9 D7 Am7 Abm7 C F6sus2
E----------8-------------------------------------------|
B---3------10------13-----------------------5-----8----|
G---3------9-------13-----5-----5-----4-----5-----7----|
D---3------10------12-----4-----5-----4-----5-----x----|
A---x------8-------13-----5-----x-----x-----3-----8----|
F---2------0--------------------4-----3-----------0----|
Dm Em F G Am7* G9
E---5-----7----------------------------|
B---6-----8-----10----12----------10---|
G---7-----9-----10----12----------10---|
D---7-----9-----10----12----5-----9----|
A---5-----7-----8-----10----7-----10---|
F---------------------------4----------|
E9 A A7 Gmaj7 Em7* Em7 F#m7 A*
E----------------------------------7-----9-----------|
B---7-----2----2-----12-----12-----8-----10----14----|
G---7-----2----0-----11-----x------7-----9-----14----|
D---6-----2----2-----12-----12-----9-----11----14----|
A---7-----0----0-----10-----x------7-----9-----12----|
F---------------------------11-----------------------|
And if you're playing in standard tuning then the only
chord shapes that are different are these ones here:
Gm7 Fmaj7 Am7 Abm7 F6sus2 Am7* Em7*
E---------8------------------------------------------|
B---3-----10-------------------8--------------12-----|
G---3-----9------5-----4-------7--------------x------|
D---3-----10-----5-----4-------x-------5------12-----|
A---x-----8------x-----x-------8-------7------x------|
E---3------------5-----4---------------5------12-----|
