These are the chords from the song "Satellites" written and performed by =
(the) Doves on their 2002 Capitol Records release "The Last Broadcast." =
The song is pretty simple as far as chords go. It's carried mostly by =
its sublime arrangement. =20
A few notes:
-You should tune down a half step, as it makes the G - G/F# - Em change =
during the chorus much easier. The chords as I've written them are =
relative to a guitar tuned to Eb, i.e. on the record they're all a half =
step higher in pitch. =20
-The C major chords sound a little better with a low G in the bass =
(332010), especially during the intro and chorus
-In the final short verse, play G6 in the seventh position (779787). =
Bar the seventh fret with your first finger, fret the B string at the =
8th fret with your second finger, and fret the D string at the 9th fret =
with your third finger. I suppose you could also see this as an Em7 =
with B in the bass, but calling it G6 fits the rest of the song better. =
-Also in the third verse, you may want to play the Em in the seventh =
position. I'm pretty sure Jez Williams's arpeggiated figure towards the =
end revolves around the 7th position Em. =20

I didn't steal this from anywhere :)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DOVES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
