King Of Anything by Sara Bareilles
King Of Anything
Notes:
-CAPO 1ST FRET!
-While playing verses on the
4th beat while playing the F
us pick the bass note (E|-1-|)
and then on the and of four
walk down to a G (E|-3-|)
-All the chords in the verse are
an arpeggio starting the bass note
of each chord
-In my band we play the verse with
barre chords and each note is very
staccato (short).
-Then we play the
chorus with open strummed chords
but still staccato.
-Then finally on the bridge we strum
very open and don't mute anything so
we keep the bridge without staccato.
-On the C/E at the end of the chorus
REALLY bring out the E!, at first I
thought the chord was an Em but after
listening to the song more more i know
it's a C/E
(Easy Way) (Harder Way)

Verse 1:
C Dm
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the ta-ble

C
You've got opinions man

Jump up on board with you
Am F
And ride off into your de-lusional sunset
C
I'm not the one who's lost
Dm
With no direction, oh

But you'll never see

You're so busy making maps

but it sounds close. post your thoughts/corrections in the
comments! thanks!
