The chords match the lyrics, the song's key changes to a different key. The chord sequence is created by the musician and is not too difficult. The guitar is tuned to E A D G B E to match the recording. The F major chord (F, F/E, Dm, Bb, C, Gm) is played repeatedly throughout the song. An Eb capo is generally not necessary, but two types of capos can be used at the 1st fret if desired. The E major chord is played (E, E/Eb, C#m, A, B, F#m), with a simpler version using a capo at the 3rd fret. The D major chord is played (D, D/C#, Bm, G, A, Em) in a simple way with basic rhythms such as guitar strumming, a D capo, a prominent beat, or chord strumming. For the easy D major guitar chord, the recommended strumming pattern is primarily downward strumming.

Is it suitable for beginners? | Playing in the original key is a bit difficult because it requires barre chords, but using a capo makes it much easier for beginners.

(Lyrics):Funeral - Ashe
[Verse 1]
Caught me in the middle of a real landslide
Middle of a real long night
It was dark on the steps of the balcony talking to you
I could see the softness in your big brown eyes
Felt safe for the very first time
It was crowded and loud, but it felt like just us in the room
Just us two
[Pre-Chorus]
( * ) Thought I'd never have it Fated for dancing around it
So almost forgot about it Until I finally found it, yeah
[Chorus]
( ** ) I met the beginning and the end
My forever, now and then
You'll be my Tuesday night and my Sunday drive
And the wedding, the wedding
Now somehow, every normal day's unusual
Every storm and rain is beautiful
You'll be my Tuesday night and my Sunday drive
And the last speech at my funeral
[Verse 2]
Now I call you just to hear your voice
You're the only one who calms the noise
In the tornado warnings, we're up 'til the morning is bright
Holding me tight
( * , ** )
[Post-Chorus]
(Hoo-hoo-hoo) (Doo-doo-doo)
Oh-oh
You're the last speech at my funeral
[Bridge]
So make it good, tell 'em about how we met
Tell 'em I have no regret about you
The best thing I ever did was loving you, loving you
Make it long, tell 'em every story and every song
Say I found who I belong to
And the best thing I ever did was loving you
[Chorus]
I met the beginning and the end
And I'd do it all again
Every Tuesday night, every Sunday drive
And the wedding, the wedding
Now somehow, every normal day's unusual (Ah, oh)
Every storm and rain is beautiful
You'll be my Tuesday night and my Sunday drive
The last speech at my funeral
[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh)
You'll be my Tuesday night and my Sunday drive (Oh-oh-oh)
And the last speech at my funeral
