I don't know if weren't allowed to request or post tab or not. If not just let this thread sink and die, or lock it. But does anyone know the chords to "Lion of Judah"???

c'mon that song is like so easy to figure out... you can't tab that one for yourself?
if i have time today i'll try to do it iight?
peace

I just wanna know the chords. Prince is known for using weird chords that I can't identify, purely by listening. Like in Purple Rain which uses a Bb (not difficult, but a little strange), or the D/F# in Raspberry Beret....

Thanks dude....

How about the tabs for Planet Earth? That would be a good one to experiment with.

And "Resolution". What are the chords to that one? Nothing I play sounds right.

(Transcribed by Toejam of Housequake.com)

PLANET EARTH:

Verse:
Eb maj | Dmaj | Eb maj | Dmaj | Eb maj | Dmaj | Gmin - Bb maj | Dsus - Dmaj ||

Chorus:
Dmaj | Gmin | Dmaj | Gmin | Dmaj | Gmin | Gmin - Bb maj | Dsus - Dmaj ||

Bridge:
Bb maj7 | Emin7 | Fmin7 - (Bb7*) | Eb maj7 | Cmin7 | Dmin7 | Gmaj ||

*this Bb7 chord is kind of half played, so I've put it in brackets. It's the V7 of the ii-V7-I progression, so it makes sense (ie. doesn't really stand out).
_____

GUITAR:

Intro/turnaround:
A9sus | Amaj/G* | D7sus | D7sus : || x2

Verse:
A7 | A7 | D7 | D7 : ||

Although I've written them as 7th chords (as that's what you'd solo over) he's really just playing power chord pattern most the time: A A A E F# E | A A G \ | D D D A B A | D D A \ : || )

*G in the bass (second time only when the whole band comes in)
_____

SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH:

Intro/Pre-verse:
Gmaj7 | Amin7 | Gmaj7 | Amin7 - D7sus ||

Verse:
Gmaj7 | Amin7 : ||

Chorus:
Cmaj7 - Bmin7 - Amin7 | Cmaj7 - Bmin7 - Amin7 | C maj7 - Bmin7 - Amin7 | Cmaj7 - Bmin7 - Amin7 - D7sus | Gmaj7 etc.
_____

THE ONE U WANNA C:

Intro:
Emaj | Esus | Emaj | Emaj ||

Then pretty much the same progression throughout:
Amaj | E7 | Amaj | E7 | Amaj | E7 | Dmaj | Emaj : ||
_____

FUTURE BABY MAMA:

Verse:
Dmaj7 | Amaj7 | Dmaj7 | Amaj7 | Dmaj7 | Amaj7 | Fmaj7 | Cmaj7 - Bb maj7 - Amaj7 ||

Chorus:
Dmaj7 | Amaj7 | Dmaj7 | C#maj - C#maj/F* - F#min7 | Dmaj7 | Amaj7 | Fmaj7 | Cmaj7 - Bb maj7 - Amaj7 ||

Bridge:
Bmin7 | C#min7 | Bmin7 | C#maj - C#maj/F* - F#min7 | Bmin7 | Amaj7 | Fmaj7 | Cmaj7 - Bb maj7 - Amaj7 ||

*ie. F in the bass, aka C#maj first inversion
_____

MR. GOODNIGHT:

Pretty much the same 2 chord progression throughout:
Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | Emin7 | Emin7 : ||
_____

CHELSEA RODGERS:

Pretty much the same progression throughout:
Bb min7 - Cmin7 | Fmin7 : ||
