      Creo que las notas estan mal, pero el tono no, ya que es efectivamente en Mi.

      E7+:021100
      A7+:002120

      Intro E7+ A7+ (repeat)
      Song E7+ A7+ G#7 C#7

        Krick is just about spot on… would just add a hammer-on pull-off trill with the little finger 3rd to 5th fret on the G (D bass) in the first part of the verse (or intro to it – can’t remember at the mo)

        1. Re: Pinball, Brian Protheroe-, chords
          Tom Duffy

          Instead of G, try sliding up to Em7(don’t change your finger positions, just slide everything up 2 frets)

      I’ve checked my follow up and the chords don’t go above the right words you’ll have to work the changes out yourselves

      Cheers

      This may not be axactly the right chords but they do work!
      Perhaps Brian or Mark are the best ones to tell us! These chords work for all the verses.

      Pinball

      Em Aadd9
      Well I’ve run out of Pale Ale
      Em Aadd9
      And I feel like I’m in jail

      The Fmaj7 chord is played with an "A" bass note. Just so you know!

        If the Fmaj7 is played with an "A" bass note doesn’t that make it an A minor?

    Escape (The Pina Colada Song) – Rupert Holmes

    Intro: All barre chords, play same rhythm throughout song

    F A G F G C E D C
    I was tired of my lady, we’d been together too long.
    C F A G F G C E D C
    Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
    C F A G F G C E D C
    So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
    C F A G F G C E D C
    And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

    Chorus:
    C F A G F G C E D C
    "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
    C F A G F G C E D C
    If you’re not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
    C F A G F G C E D C
    If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
    C F A G F G C E D C
    I’m the lady you’ve looked for, write to me, and escape."

    Mini Solo played after every chorus

    —————-15—-I—13-12-13-12-3-I————–15—-I—13-12-13-12—I
    ———-13-16—–I—————I——–13-16—–I————-13I
    —-12-13———–I—————I–12-13———–I—————I
    ——————–I—————I——————I—————I
    ——————–I—————I——————I—————I
    ——————–I—————I——————I—————I

    I didn’t think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
    But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
    So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
    And though I’m nobody’s poet, I thought it wasn’t half-bad.

    "Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
    I’m not much into health food, I am into champagne.
    I’ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
    At a bar called O’Malley’s, where we’ll plan our escape."

    So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
    I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
    It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it’s you."
    And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

    "That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
    And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
    If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
    You’re the love that I’ve looked for, come with me, and escape."
