Song: Better Man
Band: Littlest Man Band
Album: Better Book Ends
Tuning: Standard
Acoustic
This song extremely simple. The chords used are the following:
G:320033
Cadd9:X32033
C:X32010
Dadd4add9:X5403X
Quick note: the transition from G to Cadd9 is always this:
E|---3--3-----3-3-3-3---3---------3-3-3---|
B|---3--3-----3-3-3-3---3---------3-3-3---|
G|---0--------0-0-0-----0---------0-0-0---|
D|---0--------2-2-2-----0---------0-0-0---|
A|---2---2h3-3--3-3-----2---------2-2-2---|
E|-3------------------3-----------3-3-3---|
Also, in the chorus, Dadd4add9 doesn't slide back down to C until around the word "be"
but it's a long chord name and a pain in the ass to fit in there. Listen to the song,
you'll figure the strumming and everything out.
(sslide to)
Intro during horn solo is just G to Cadd9 to G repeating
I'm not the sh[G]arpest shard of glass fro[Cadd9]m this broken window[G]
But th[G]ere's a few things that I've learn[Cadd9]ed that you might want to kn[G]ow
[C]That misery is a talent you can hone
And s[G]orrow is a product we a[Cadd9]ll can't wait to own[G]
[C]Bu[s]t [Dadd4add9]I'm just trying [Dadd4add9]to be a be[s]tt[C]er man[G][Cadd9][G]
[G]Flesh and blood cover [Cadd9]the statues on the street[G]
They'll t[G]reat you like a friend but they s[Cadd9]tare at you like fresh mea[G]t
[C]And the porcelain teeth that smile in your face
Can't[G] wait for you to fall so[Cadd9] they can take your plac[G]e
[C]An[s]d [Dadd4add9]I'm just trying[Dadd4add9] to be a b[s]et[C]ter man[G][Cadd9][G]
[C]Ye[s]ah[Dadd4add9] I'm just tryi[Dadd4add9]ng to be a[s] b[C]etter man[G][Cadd9][G]
Horn solo: (is basically one verse and chorus without words)
[G] [Cadd9] [G]

[C] [s] [Dadd4add9] [Dadd4add9] [s] [C] [G][Cadd9][G]
[C] [s] [Dadd4add9] [Dadd4add9] [s] [C] [G][Cadd9][G]
[G] [Cadd9] [G]
[G]Lie and cheat your friends [Cadd9]while you still have t[G]ime
[G]And downplay the drama while you[Cadd9] figure out a chever r[G]hyme
[C]And smile with a semi-sympathetic tone
[G]Can't appreciate good friends u[Cadd9]ntil you find you're all alo[G]ne
[C]Bu[s]t [Dadd4add9]I'm just tr[Dadd4add9]ying to be[s] a[C] metter m[G]an[Cadd9][G]
[C]Ye[s]ah[Dadd4add9] I'm just tryi[Dadd4add9]ng to be a[s] b[C]etter[G] man[Cadd9][G]
To end repeat G Cadd9 G and end.
