It Can Only Get Better Chords & Tabs
It Can Only Get Better Chords
This is my first entry in the Ultimate Guitar site, so please let me know if you have
suggestions.
These chords are according to this version:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogu0sd1fHNw
The song is in E Major, but I have transposed the chords down one whole step so it is
to play. To play along with the song, Capo the second fret.
The chord changes are not always aligned with the beginning of a word, since the rhythm
the lyrics tends to be in syncopation (off beat). Just listen to the song, and you can
where the chords change.

Asus A9 A7
*Note: The chords Asus, A9 and A7 are put in for effect, and are not necessary. However,
believe the song sounds better with them.
-Also note that the patterns where Asus and A9 to A7 are used can be interchanged since
are used for the purpose of leading to the next phrase.
For example, the phrase originally
G Bm G
For all the clouds up in the sky
G Bm A(sus)
For all the teardrops in our eyes
A D
It can get only get better
Can be done with A9 and A7 chords as follows:
G Bm G
For all the clouds up in the sky
G Bm A(9)
For all the teardrops in our eyes
A(7) D
It can get only get better
