Seen Too Much

Minimum skill needed to play

You can play this song if you are comfortable with the chords including one that isn't naturally found in a major key: the minor 4th (Cm in the key of G). Choose strumming patterns you're comfortable with and clarify the song order before playing.

Chords and chord transitions

You can play the chords of the original key using G chord shapes with no capo. Note that C, Csus2, or Cadd9 may be played in place of the notated C for ease of playing as they are slight variations of each other. Your notation may indicate variations of this throughout.

Use the Chord Shape Finder below to pick what chord shapes you want to play. Here's how it works:

• First choose the key of the song.
• Then choose the capo fret until "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and the chords listed in "Chord Shapes" are ones you know or want to learn. This allows you to play the song using chords and chord shapes you know while the song is in a key you don't know.
• View chords and chord transition pairs for suggested voicings.

What to watch out for

There is a C minor (Cm) chord in the bridge (in the key of G), while the rest of the song uses a C major (C) chord, so make sure you're comfotable with the extra chord.

The chord change timings in this song are very predictable which makes it easy to play. All chord changes are evenly spaced except for the progression in the middle and end of each chorus where the chords are played on beats 1, 3, and 4 (lyric of "I've seen too much to turn around"). This progression is also played at the end of the choruses leading into the bridges. These aren't difficult chord transitions but the timing is different enough to catch you off guard if you're thinking all chord change timings are the same throughout.

How to play this song solo

Down strums can be played for the verses, a slow deliberate strum pattern is best for the chorus, and the bridges can be built and played with full dynamics as desired.

Song structure

The song can be played following this order from the recording. After each chorus (tag or no tag) there's a 2 measure instrumental before moving to the next section. To shorten the song, you can end the song after the first or second bridge in keeping with the spirit of the song (song normally ends after the bridge).
