Stay High by Tove Lo
Stay High
Standard Tuning Capo 1 for original tuning to the song
I play a half step down on Capo 1 personally, just personal preference for voice as a guy.
I will also be posting a cover soon for this song as well via Youtube,
which I shall leave a link to in the comments when it is uploaded.
In this translation I used power chords A5, C#5, E5, and E sus2 giving the bottom strings an
open resonant sound which flows much better vocally and makes it easier to create harmonies should one
add other instruments in performance, say a Ukelele for example and vocal harmony.
For Baritone Ukelele players take note that D G B E is your tuning.
So in accordance to that you are only changing fingers with the
G and D strings, canceling out the bass notes A and E string from the equation.
Meaning:
E o o o o
B o o o o
G 2 6 4 4
D 2 6 2 4
There are other variations to the chords above which I can look up if you like
if you wish to add more in the mix to find your own way of preference to
your expression of the craft.
Lastly the chord names seem to vary where I have looked
For Ukelele:
------------
Asus2 is actually A sus4/D sus2
C#m7 is A6/F#m7
Em7 is A5
Eadd9 is Asus2/E sus4
For Guitar:
-----------
Asus2 also known as E sus4
C#m7 an E6
Em7 an E5
E is also known as E sus2 or B sus4
