These are the chords from the song "Satellites" written and performed by =
(the) Doves on their 2002 Capitol Records release "The Last Broadcast."  =
The song is pretty simple as far as chords go.  It's carried mostly by =
its sublime arrangement. =20

A few notes:

-You should tune down a half step, as it makes the G - G/F# - Em change =
during the chorus much easier.  The chords as I've written them are =
relative to a guitar tuned to Eb, i.e. on the record they're all a half =
step higher in pitch. =20

-The C major chords sound a little better with a low G in the bass =
(332010), especially during the intro and chorus

-In the final short verse, play G6 in the seventh position (779787).  =
Bar the seventh fret with your first finger, fret the B string at the =
8th fret with your second finger, and fret the D string at the 9th fret =
with your third finger.   I suppose you could also see this as an Em7 =
with B in the bass, but calling it G6 fits the rest of the song better.  =


-Also in the third verse, you may want to play the Em in the seventh =
position.  I'm pretty sure Jez Williams's arpeggiated figure towards the =
end revolves around the 7th position Em. =20
