Pirouette by Lisa Mitchell
Pirouette
Tuning: E A D G B E
What before in the chorus I had said was 9th fret Am, I've been told
that it's a variation of F#m. It is found in the variations when hovered above
the F#m chord (6 of 11). The variation F#m is what I have put
1) next to, the other (2) is the normal F#m chord. I just thought I should change that
so people don't get confused.
Basically the F#m chords in the chorus are all the variated version and pretty much
everything other than that like the verse and the instrumentals are the normal F#m chord.
And also Bbø is Bb half diminished I don't know why it doesn't show in the chords

version 2
Structure:
Verse = E, A. On 'E' Move middle finger from 2nd fret on the A string to the 2nd fret on the E string to get
the third (I don't know what) chord she plays. The A ('spin me round the room like a') is played using an E
pattern barring the 5th fret. Back to E for ('marionette'). For the E bits you strum down once on the first
3-4 strings (i.e 6, 5, 4, 3...), pause, then strum up on the last 2-3 strings. You then move into the E
variation on which you only strum the 6,5,4,3 strings. Strum down-up like: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2 then back to E.
The alternative is just to use the F#m as apparently used in the album version instead of the E variation.
Bridge = C#m i.e Am barring fourth fret, but then she moves the barring down to 3rd, then perhaps again? I
personally can't reach that far down but I'm shit at guitar. The Bb half diminished sounds right though.
Chorus = as the other tab put it, really simple: B, F#m, A, E.
Just to be clear I'm going to call the E variation 'E(var)' and it's like this:
e|-x-------------|
B|-x-------------|
G|-1-------------|
D|-2-------------|
A|-0-------------|
E|-2-------------|
