Seven Seas chords...Help

[ALB]

Does anyone know the opening chords to seven seas?

I've been trying... Cmaj7, C

Doesn't quite sound right...Although it could be my dodgy guitar playing.

Cheers.

Do you know which member wrote it? When I tried to play I had to reluctantly sing to piece parts together.
Somewhere, though, I heard Will wrote it..but it seems that the bass holds it together. Just seems to me the vocal melody came first....

I play it:

Cmaj7, then Fmaj7 ending the intro on a straight C

then F,G,C for verse

G,C for chorus


ie

- -
- 1
- 2
2 3
3 3
3 -

..works for me--hope you can understand this--I'm shit with chord names!

BTE, the Omnibus press Bunnymen songbook went for 99c on Ebay recently--its not that great anyway, eg no intro for Seven Seas!! but is the only official songbook out there methinks--but look out for it- that was a steal--if it wasnt $25 for P&P to Uk I would have bought another copy and punted it here--its rare as..

Think you can just about make Gordy playing this at the start

Re rest of song--straight from the horses hands..

Thanks for the help earl & hotty.

I'll have a go at playing it again tonight.

I have the 'Echo and the Bunnymen' Warner Bros music book...But it's pretty basic.

Don't think i've seen the Omnibus press songbook...i'll look out for it.

Cheers.

Think it's the same book!
