Harmonies and octave

Harmony

From the Latin harmonia meaning joining, concord, and from the Greek harmos meaning joint.

The combination of three or more sounds in a manner that produces a musically consistent, agreeable, pleasing whole.

Harmony, associations:  Accompaniment, chords, triads, seventh chords, chorale style

Octaves

Many musical scales in the West use eight notes. The distance between the first and eighth note is called an octave. This octave distance can be broken down into 12 semitones (on a guitar, each fret is one semitone.) ... Also: playing any note an octave higher will double it's frequency vibration rate.

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do

Em
Some legends are told
G
Some turn to dust or to gold 
C
But you will remember me
Am               D
Remember me, for centuries
 
Em
And just one mistake 
G
Is all it will take,
C
We’ll go down in history
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
 
Em      G      C
Heeeya, heeey, heeeya

Em
Mummified my teenage dreams
G
No it’s nothing wrong with me
C
The kids are all wrong, the story's all off
Am                D
Heavy metal broke my heart
 
 
Em
Come on come on and let me in 
G
Those bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
C
Is this supposed to match, the darkness that you felt,
Am                       D
I never meant for you to fix yourself
 
 
Em
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do

Some turn to dust or to gold

Harmonies and octave

Harmony

From the Latin harmonia meaning joining, concord, and from the Greek harmos meaning joint.

The combination of three or more sounds in a manner that produces a musically consistent, agreeable, pleasing whole.

Harmony, associations:  Accompaniment, chords, triads, seventh chords, chorale style

Octaves

Many musical scales in the West use eight notes. The distance between the first and eighth note is called an octave. This octave distance can be broken down into 12 semitones (on a guitar, each fret is one semitone.) ... Also: playing any note an octave higher will double it's frequency vibration rate.

take a swing, I wonder what are we fighting

Is there anything I'm gonna miss

Chorus

I wonder
Em                                A
How's it gonna be, when you don't know me,

How's it gonna be, when there's no one there to talk to,
