Hello Cocklings

I finally got round to buying Nick's "Blood songs" and a mighty fine listen
it is too. My wife Gil has become rightly besotted with the song "imaginary
friend". I wondered if anyone has figured out the guitar chords for this
so's I can be all soppy and play it to her like..... :-~

Just had a quiet moment and gave it a go, it seems to be a normal tuning (amazing!)

Chord sequence is basically F (really whack the bottom F note with yer thumb and on the subsequent chords to mimnic the bass line particularly after the first verse), C(2nd position) Dminor (not sure if it should be first or second position play around with it and see what sounds best to you), B flat(first position) and repeat. The last verse (I think) you can use the C chord shape to play the run of notes (C D E F G A Bflat) as he sings "All I ever do is dream" and finishes that line with Bflat leading onto C in the the second position with possibly a sus4 bunged in. All a bit rough you understand. If you manage to suss out anymore I would love know particularly how he does the middle instrumental bit

I do have guitar tab software around here somewhere but I've never actually used it so if I can manage to work it out I will post it.

I hope the following doesn't get all screwed up in the e-mail

F.................................C..........................Dm
I've been talking to My imaginary friend
Bb
More than anything
F....................C..................Dm
She is positively positivity
............................Bb
Somone who's always helpful
F..................................... C
I know that's not living how it is
Bb..............................C
But how I'd like it to be
Dm...........................Bb
But all I ever do is dream
Dm...........................Bb
All I ever do is dream
.........C ..............................F
That you are here with me.

Thanks for the challenge, I learnt something :-)
