Amen

by Jewel Kilcher, transcribed by Gregory Willms

this song is played in an open D tuning. which is something like...

D-A-D-F#-A-D



85% of the entire song is this progression...

- ---------------------------------------------------
- -------0------------0------------0-----------0-----
- -----0---0-------0----0--------0---0-------0---0---
- ---0-------0---0--------0----0-------0---0-------0-
- -2-----------0-------------------------------------
- ---------------------------5-----------5-----------

the first change comes when she starts playing something like this...

(each of these triads are played 4 times in a row)



- ------- ------- ------- -------
- -----0- -----4- -----3- -----2-
- ---0--- ---0--- ---0--- ---0---
- ------- ------- ------- -------
- -5----- -0----- -3----- -2-----
- ------- ------- ------- -------
i guess you could call that part a bridge...
after playing that, you just go back to the first part...



then finally, at the end, after playing that "bridge" part, she goes to
this...



(each of these chords are played twice in a row)
- -------4------- -------3------- -------6-------
- -----4---4----- -----3---3----- -----6---6-----
- ---3-------3--- ---2-------2--- ---5-------5---
- -4-----------4- -3-----------3- -6-----------6-
- --------------- --------------- ---------------
- --------------- --------------- ---------------



- -------5------- -------5-------
- -----5---5----- -----5---5-----
- ---4-------4--- ---5-------5---
- -5-----------5- -5-----------5-
- --------------- ---------------
- --------------- ---------------



and ends it all with just the open D...
