Chord Forgiven Acoustic by Alanis Morissette

forgiven - alanis morissette acoustic version from jagged little pill for reference , see : please note that this is my interpretation of the song! i may not be playing the exact same chords as on the record , but at least you won’t get booed off stage if you use them . at least it won’t be my fault if it happens! i tried my best , but i’m not certain about the accuracy of the lyrics . here are some chord grips for some of the more unusual chords the numbers above some of them are recommended fretting fingers : 1 4 2 Aadd9 : x - 0 - 2 - 4 - 2 - 0 t 1 3 2 F#7 : 2 - x - 2 - 3 - 2 - 0 Bmaj9 no 3rd : 0 - 2 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 0 or : x - x - 2 - 4 - 4 - 0 caug : x - 3 - 2 - 1 - 1 - xif the chord grips for the Aadd9 and F#7 chords in the intro are too difficult to fret , alternatively you could play both using a regular E major - shaped bar chord and just lift your bar finger to let the open E and B strings ring out . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - intro 00 : 00 Aadd9 F#7 Aadd9 F#7 verse 00 : 13 Aadd9 F#7 Aadd9 F#7 you know how us catholic girls can be .
