All chords should be played as bar-chords, except E and Dm.
The transition from E to F#m goes over Fm, so it s basicaly
e|---0---------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
B|---0---------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---1---------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
D|---2-----2-----3---4-------------------------------------------------------|
A|---2---2-----3-----4-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-x-0-----1-----2-2-------------------------------------------------------|
The song switches beautifully between blues style picking and
mostly-downwards-strumming, but it s rather easy to figure it out by listening to the song.
And there s also a little transition from E to A after the chorus which i can t figure
out, but letting the E ring sounds good too.
Intro
I m gonna be happy
I m gonna feel good
I m gonna go skippin
Through my neighboorhood
I ll be the opposite of blue
When I forget about you
I ll be on my A game
be given high-fives
I m making breakfast
talking about my great life
I m living large
Yeah I m going out
Not thinking how good we looked
like I m doing now (you re doing now)
I ll be the opposite of blue
When I forget about you
Forget about you
No I won t waste a moment
thinking about what you re doing now
Nooooo-ooow
And I won t care to wonder
If it might have worked out somehow
Hoooo-ooow
And I ll give my heart to someone new
I ll see the bright side
Stand up real tall
If i ever get out of bed again
I m gonna have a ball
And i m gonna look so ing good
You gonna wish, wish that you could
But look at me now, wondering how
How am I ever, gonna make it through
To the other side of blue (I m waiting)
Where I ll have such better things to do
No I just cant wait to
Dorget about you
Dorget about you
