Paul McCartney – Hope of Deliverance
(From the Album "Off the Ground", 1993)
This song is quite easy to play, once you got a hang of the strumming pattern. It's especially easy for people like me who usually have a hard time to sing and strum simultaneously. Don't get irritated because chord changes are not on the beginning of the line or occur within words – it'll flow nicely. Give it a try, hope you'll enjoy it.
The song is written in C, but to avoid the evil barred F it's fine to play it in G with the capo on the 5th fret. McCartney plays his C chords somewhere up the 5th or 7th fret (go see the video on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck-h0oG2msA ).
Chords used:
G 320033 Em 022000
Am7 x02010 Am7/G 302010
Am x02210 C 032010
Strumming:
A swinging D DU UDU throughout works fine.
Intro:
You can strum through, or try with a slightly arppegiated (I guess there's a better expression for that) second downstroke. Note that in measure 4 there's only one downstroke ringing through. G Em G Em
