Soul Sister (beginner)

Chords
pin

The original tab for soul sister has some difficult chords in it, which makes it difficult to play for a beginner like me! So I transposed it down a third which makes it much easier to play (and sing!) 

Intro:

C     G                Am             F
  Hey-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay
 
Verse One:

C                    G                         Am            F
Your lipstick stains   on the front lobe of my left side brains

                      C                         G       
I knew I wouldn't for-get you and so I went and let you blow 
       Am F G
my mind
  
C                   G                            Am        
Your sweet moonbeam   the smell of you in every single dream I 
F
dream
                  C                              G      
I knew when we col-lided you're the one I have de-cided who's 
            Am F G
one of my kind

Chorus:

F               G                 C      G      F
Hey soul sister ain't that mister mister on the radio stereo
    G                 C        G
The way you move aint fair you know
F               G               C      G      F            G
Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do

   C         G                 Am              F
To-night Hey-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay

Verse Two:

C              G                           Am                 
Just in ti-i-i-ime I'm so glad you have a one track mind like 
F
me
                     C                           G 
You gave my love dir-ection a game show love con-nection we 
         Am F G
can't deny-i-iii
   
    C           G                                 Am 
I'm so obsessed   my heart is bound to beat right outta my 
          F
untrimmed chest

             C                           G                 
I believe in you like a virgin you're Ma-donna and I'm 
              Am
always gonna wanna 
          
          F    G
blow your mind

Chorus:

F               G                 C      G      F
Hey soul sister ain't that mister mister on the radio stereo
    G                 C        G
The way you move aint fair you know
F               G               C      G      F            G
Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do

Bridge:

   C
To-night The way you can't cut a rug
G                               Am
Watching you's the only drug I need
         
You're so gangster I'm so thug
           F                            C
You're the only one I'm dreaming of you see
                          G
I can be myself now final-ly
                                 Am
In fact there's nothing I can't be
                            F       G
I want the world to see you be with   me

Chorus:
F               G                 C      G      F
Hey soul sister ain't that mister mister on the radio stereo
    G                 C        G
The way you move aint fair you know
F               G               C      G      F            G
Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do
   G  C  G
to-night
F               G               C      G      F               G
Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do-oooo

     C         G                 Am              F
To-night Hey-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay
   C         G                 Am              F
To-night Hey-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay, Hey-ay-AY-ay-ay
C
To-night

    For strumming, I do Down Down Up (pause) Up Down Up although for the chorus where it goes quickly from C to G to F, I just go Down Down Up, Down Down Up, Down Down Up and that seems to work for me :P

    If you think the chords aren't for you. There's always transpose chords.

    What do you think if i mix different versions of Hey soul sister? I believe this one sounds too monotonous, won't it be better a more various cover? However, amazing cover! It's has been my first song, perfect chords

    There's a few problems with the lyrics, but the chords are spot-on!
