iconic Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) 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? sheet: [url="http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0089522"]http://www.musicnote...p?ppn=MN0089522[/url] internet chords: [url="http://www.e-chords.com/chords/mandy-moore/when-will-my-life-begin"]http://www.e-chords....l-my-life-begin[/url] song itself: [url="https://youtu.be/je4nDvNJXsg"]https://youtu.be/je4nDvNJXsg[/url] cheers guys, thanks for your help and patience Edited January 1, 2016 by iconic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Here's what I heard: [attachment=208466:When Will My Life Begin.jpg] 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...
