Stay by Maty Noyes
Stay
Tuning: Standard E (Capo 3rd fret)
During verse 1 and 3, I pluck the chords something like this instead of strumming them (the x across
the strings is a light slap against the strings, kinda like "More Than Words" by Extreme):
Am C/E F C
e|--------x-----------x-----------x-----------x--|
B|-----1--x--1--------x--------1--x--1--------x--|
G|-----2--x--0--------x--------2--x--0--------x--|
D|-----2--x--2--------x--------3--x--2--------x--|
A|--0-----x-----------x-----------x--3--------x--|
E|--------x--0--------x-----1-----x-----------x--|
beat: I II III IV I II III IV
Do the same thing with the Am, C, F, C and Am, C, Dm7, C progressions later in the song.
Strumming pattern during parts with drums (Dots represent sixteenth notes, the strokes in brackets are
light, optional strokes):
1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . .
D (D) U (D)(U) D (D) U (D)(U) D (D)(U)
[Verse 1]
Am C/E F C
Thought I could leave you ''cause I felt my heart numbing
Am C/E F C
It hit so deep, I closed my eyes and I just took off running
Am C/E F C
I turned around and saw the look on your face
Am C/E F C
So I stayed.......... stayed
[Verse 2]
Am C F C
But I don''t need you, and you should know that, baby

It''d take a miracle for you to really try and change me
