I've always been a big Mandy Moore fan and this is the first song off her new record
Wild Hope (which came out yesterday). Its really good and you should pick it up! The first
even has a guitar solo in it. Yes, a guitar solo in a Mandy Moore song, could it get any better?
Basically the whole song is in D Major. For the intro and verses, strum a D chord and
at the end of each measure they play G-G-G-G-D-Dsus2 then back to D. For the chorus, it
from a G to an A chord.
D XX0232
G 320033
Dsus2 xx0230
A x02220
I was a da[D]ydream, quite and un[D]seen
I lived in stories but in[(G-G-G-G-D-Dsus2)]side I kept a mystery
I was a st[D]arling, nobody's dar[D]ling
Flying in perfect circles j[G-G]ust f[G]or co[G]m - [D]pa - [Dsus2]ny
Chorus
An[G]d now I'm r[A]eady
An[G]d now I'm r[A]eady
An[G]d now I'm r[A]eady
to [G]be.....Extraordinary
The solo's short, and not too hard, it took me a while to figure out, but I'm almost
this is it.

Then the "bridge" after the solo is the same chords as the chorus. Then the chorus a
times and you're done.
Well thats how I play it. One more thing; on the verses I'm pretty sure he slides up to
E chord at some point(move the D chord up two frets) but not exactly sure where or when.
you can mess around with that if you want, i think it sounds fine either way.
Again this is Extraordinary off of Mandy Moore's Cd Wild Hope. Shes kind of a guilty
of mine, lol. Her new cd is kinda stepping away from the poppy stuff and going towards more
a folky/hippie vibe which is cool. They are even comparing her to Sarah McLaughlin and
amazing Joni Mitchell. Enjoy.
