"I Don't Want To Tie You Down"
From the album "A Wizard, a True Star" (1973)
Transcribed by Brian Canfield
 
There's not a whole lot to this song, structure wise, since it's so short. The verse is the following:
 
Csus2/F       G/C          Csus2/GG/C
(G-C-D)      
 
Sometimes it's hard..etc.
 
[Until you get the last line of the verse, which is:]
 
Csus2/F       G/C          Csus2/GEm7
                      ...would be the worst mistake
 
 
Then, the chorus:
 
                        C/AC/A      C/A
Oh baby,       (E-G-C)
 
G/D     G/DC/DF/D         F/G         C/G         C/E        G/E
  I       dont       want        to            tie          you          down..
 
That's it. I've arranged this more for piano players, especially in the chorus,
with all those numerous and subtle chord changes. In nearly all of Todd's keyboard
based songs, they're all over the place! Typically, when the vocal melody changes
to a different note, a different chord will be formed underneath it. Thus, it
greatly helps to know all your major/minor triads, left and right, including first 
nd second inversions of those triads. Just some beginners advice (I am still a beginner myself).
