The mute is played in same tempo as the seven other notes in each chord variation. The way Jack gets the sounds he makes is by muting all the strings with his strumming palm as he picks out the A and D strings in a raking motion. Follows chord progression of: C, C/B, Am, F (also already mentioned before). e|--------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------- D|--5555X000-5555X000-2222X000-3333X000-- A|--3333X000-2222X000-0000X000-3333X000-- E|--------------------------------------- They say Taylor was a good girl Never one to be late Complain express ideas in her brain Working on the night shift Passing out the tickets You're going to have to pay her If you want to park here Well Mommy's little dancer's Quite a little secret She's working on the streets now Never going to keep it It's quite an imposition And now she's only wishin' That she would have listened To the words they said Poor Taylor At the chorus, the strumming pattern continues on, joined by the playing of C, G, Am, F. Either can be played, or both at the same time (like the song). On the G and F, emphasize the high e notes. Chorus ends on Am. “2000 miles (Am) from here.” C G Am F e|-------3---------1--------------------------- B|--5----3----5----1--------------------------- G|--5----4----5----2--------------------------- D|--5----5----7----3--------------------------- A|--3----5----7----3--------------------------- E|--3----3----5----1--------------------------- She just wanders around Unaffected by the winter winds air She pretends that she's somewhere else So far and clear Around 2000 miles from here The rest of the song goes the same up until the ending progression. The ending progression is just as listed already on your website. No changes need to be made. e|-(0)----------------------------------------------------- B|--1--1-1--1-1-/-3--3-3--3-3-/-6--6-6--6-6-/-8--8-8--8-8-- G|--0--0-0--0-0-/-0--0-0--0-0-/-0--0-0--0-0-/-0--0-0--0-0-- D|--2--2-2--2-2-/-4--4-4--4-4-/-7--7-7--7-7-/-9--9-9--9-9-- A|--3--3-3--3-3-/-5--5-5--5-5-/-8--8-8--8-8-/-10-1010-1010- E|--------------------------------------------------------- Go back into the Intro. "Taylor" They say Taylor was a good girl never one to be late complain express ideas in her brain Workin on the night shift passin out the tickets you're gonna have to pay her if you want to park here. Well mommy's little dancer's quite a little secret workin on the streets now never gonna keep it. It's quite an imposition And now she's only wishin' That she would have listened To the words they said. Poor Taylor. Well she just wanders around uneffected by the winter winds, yeah and she'll pretend that well she's somewhere else so far and clear about 2,000 miles from here. Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in and poor old Pete's got nothin 'cause he's been fallin' but somehow Sunny knows just where he's been He thinks that singin' on a Sunday's gunna save his soul but now that Saturday's gone Well sometimes he thinks that he's on his way but I can see, that his break lights are on And he just wanders around uneffected by the winter winds, yeah and he'll pretend that well he's somewhere else so far and clear about 2,000 miles from here. She's such a tough enchilada filled up with nada givin' what she got to give to get dollar bills she used to be a limber chick time's a been tickin' now she's finger lickin to the man with the money in his pockets flyin in his rocket only stoppin by on his way to a better world if Taylor finds a better world Taylor's gunna run away
