Tangled : When Will My Life Begin...E/F...?

[iconic]

Hi guys, happy new year and all that, hope the hangovers aren't too cruel....I love being a teetotaller on new years day....not by choice though

My daughter received the Tangled DVD for Christmas and the main theme is a catchy little number. I've been playing along to it and then decided to take a look at sheet and tabs for chords when I noticed something a little odd, to my limited knowledge.

Key is E major. The verse is really only Badd4 (B, D#, E, F#) and E5 power chord and playing root octaves of B and E over the chords sit easily on the ear and matches that on the sheet music.

Then I found that most of the 'tinternet chord tabs have the E5 (or simply E) as a slash F for the bass....what a flat 2nd as a root note, not seen this before? Is this simply a case of an error carried on multiple internet listings or something else going on that I have missed?

Here's what I heard:

As for the E/F... it seems that whoever wrote the chord chart doesn't have any ears.

E major over F would give you a chord of F E G#(Ab) B(Cb), which sounds like F diminished with a major 7 in it - pretty 'niche' sounding and unlikely to crop up in a Disney tune...

cheers....thought that F may have been a jazz chord or something

Love this tune, will take a listen when I'm out of the studio today and see what I hear
