Steady As She Goes by Sky Sailing
Steady As She Goes
Capo 6
Key: C# (I think)
Either my variations shown below, or the actual chord I believe can be played ;)
Have fun! I hope I got it right!
***Make sure you play the top strings on the Cadd --> Bm/G --> Em7/G*, because of
the progression, E, F#, and G (not the actual notes you're playing. You're
actually playing A#, C, and C#)
I'm not so sure about the Em7s, I think you can replace them with a G of some kind
or Cadd9. You can also replace the Bm/G with a D. The Gsus2 can be replaced with a
D (of some kind), Cadd9 or another G. Cadd9 can be replaced with C6/9. Ah,
whatever! If something sounds wrong, post a correction and I'll look into it.
When in doubt, use the chord progression in Brielle. C G D Em7 C G D It's
essentially the same. OH! And a big thanks to the dude (Jeremy Keltner) that did
the tab for this song.
