Amanda Palmer - Creep (Chords)

Having been mention three times on this blog in the last week, this song has officially reached the status of ‘zeitgeist’. Amanda Palmer’s version has caused a stir in blogville; Julien Dore won Nouvelle Star yesterday; and, friend of the blog and friend of the stars, Susan Tobacco pointed me in the direction of the above version by Lady Carol.

A couple of things worth pointing out in Palmer’s version. The first is the juicy Cmadd9 chord she plays at the end of the intro. The second is that she seems to be having trouble moving to the B chord. creepd.jpgOne way she might have solved this (other than that tiresome ‘practicing’ business) would be to play the song in D tuning using these chord shapes. You could also use these shapes in C tuning to make hollering Ruuuuuuuuuuuu-huh-huh-hun a little easier.

    They’re standard ukulele chord chord diagrams. There’s a tutorial on how to read them here.

    I hate when people clap/sing along. I did not pay to listen to you. Roar.

    I agree with you, Dan. I hate it most when the acts encourage it. ‘Clap along’ ‘Bugger off, I paid good money to hear you sing. I could have stayed at home and clapped.’

  8. Braden on March 5th, 2008 8:34 am

    What is the strum pattern on this one? Is it D/D/U/U/D/U?

  9. Woodshed on March 5th, 2008 9:09 pm

    Hi Braden. Lady Carol plays it the way you wrote it. I think Amanda Palmer plays it D/D/U/D/U/D/U/

    Go with whatever sounds right to you.
