Just like the Tour, I've gone back to the roots and am trying some songs from Boy...the tabs I know well, but some chords just don't work for me...help would be appreciated:


The thing im working on at the moment: Stories for boys!

It sounds very simple, but I'm missing out on a chord...so far I have


E
There's a place I go
G A
When I am far away.
There's a T.V. show
And I can play.

D Em
Sometimes when a hero takes me
D C
Sometimes I don't let go
(?) C
Hello, Hello



Now some I'm not sure about, the E at the beg could also be a Em. The A at "far away" could just be too much (which i think is the case). but the part that doesn't sound right to me is the chorus, especially the ending i'm having problems with...

as said, helps appreciated :D
 
hey, it acutally sounds pretty cool with those chords. for the "i can't let go" part, you should slide the C chord up 2 frets, but keeping the same formation


and the chorus is:

Em D
Stories for boys
 
thanks for the feedback. yeah i was also lookin for the chorus, that sounds good...

i dont know, theres something in my version that needs fine tuning...ill have to play around with it a bit...

well, there are still 10 other songs to play around with on boy, most of them i've figured out the chords though already...an cat dubh is a really nice tune :)
