Countdown by Jupiter One
Countdown
Capo:no capo
Bm,A,D,G over and over varying the strums and what not of course,and plenty of mutes in
between strums on the verse, intro yada yada yada and i pick on the chorus...you can
get away with Bm,A,D,Bm i think, i don't know honestly ive had quite a few drinks too
lads and ladies to be quite honest with you...
Any ways with a pick i palm mute to some extent on every strum of the intro, but i
play acoustic without and do sort of a "slap mute" creates a nice rhythm i reckon.
For instance in the verse this is a simplified version of what i like to do
All on Bm...V V X V X V A V then immediately onto next chord, and the next and the next
the same pattern( V=down A=up X=mute) or play it like them.
N.C.
And so it begins...
Bm A
Countdown, cant think of a reason i used to love it down town
D
Met you in the middle of this scandalous town
G
Miracle walking around
G
Count Down to a Bright sound
G/N.C.
And so it begins...
Bm again and so on.
And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
It started with a minute of your favorite song
A s*** little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...
Can you think of a reason why it's your favorite song
It caught you with your finger on a video girl
America is watching you now
Countdown to a night gown
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...
Countdown, it's the time of the season
When you're a man around town
Imagination taking you where no one else can
Floating on sins that surround
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
It started with a minute of your favorite song
A s*** little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...
Are you falling sleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...

just a repetitive song,
And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...

A s*** little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...
Can you think of a reason why it's your favorite song
It caught you with your finger on a video girl
America is watching you now
Countdown to a night gown
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
