I found this on the official board a while back.


E-----------------------
B-----------------------
G-----------------------
D----------0--3p0-------
A-----0h3---------------
D-----------------3'p0--

(the tick mark there is a slight bend)

Then I fingerpick and/or strum chords:

[ D ] Take my love, [D/C] take my land, [ G ] take me where I [ D ] cannot [ Am ] stand...
[ F ] I don't care, [ C ] I'm still free, [ G ] you can't take the [ D ] sky from [ Am ] me...

[ D ] Take me out [ D/C ] to the black, [ G ] tell them I ain't [ D ] comin' [ Am ] back...
[ F ] Burn the land, [ C ] boil the sea, [ G ] you can't take the [ D ] sky from [ Am ] me...

A second guitar or fiddle can solo while you play [ F ], [ C ], [ G ]

[ D ] Have no place [ D/C ] I can be [ G ] since I found Se [ D ] reni [ Am ] ty...
[ F ] You can't take the [ C ] sky from me... [ D ]

D: 000232
D/C: 03023x or 030230
G: x20033 or 020033
Am: x02210
F: x33211 or (if your ring finger's flexible) 333211
C: x32010

Howdy there, guitarists! We already covered this topic a few times before, and here's the best we've come up with:

(NOTE: This is for the Acoustic Version Joss Plays on the bonus DVD.)

A____________G
Take my love, take my land.
D______________A______Em
Take me where I cannot stand.
C__________G
I don't care, I'm still free,
D_______________A________Em
You can't take the sky from me.

A___________G
Take me out to the black,
D_________________A______Em
tell them I ain't comin' back.
C_________________G
Burn the land and boil the sea,
D__________________A________Em
You can't take the sky from me.

G____________D____________C

A________________G
There's no place I can be
D_______________A___Em
since I found Serenity.
____C__________________G________D____A
But you can't take the sky from me

G____________D_____________C A

Hope that helps. I found it to be pretty accurate. I don't remember who came up with this (twern't me), so if you did, tell us so you can get credit.

***EDIT***
Anybody know "Hero Of Canton?" The chords from the TV ep are totally wrong, and I can't figure this song out for the life of me.

fivebyfive:

i found you chords for the acoustic version of the firefly theme very helpful, but the chords for the actual theme (posted above) were in the wrong key. For those of you who have been trying to play along, here is the corrected chords.

beginning
e
b
g
d
a 0 3p0
e 0h3

C Bb F C Gm
Eb Bb F C Gm

C Bb F C Gm
Eb Bb F C Gm

Eb Bb F

C Bb F C Gm
Eb Bb F C

That works when i play along to the dvd. also, easy suggestion: you can capo 3 and play fivebyfive's as written and the key will match up on the dvd.



Hope it helps

Here's a link to a transcription of the Firefly theme song. As for the discussion about the key... it will be necessary to tune your guitar down a whole step to play the song properly. Also, I have transcribed the fiddle solo too, so check out the link below:

Thanks for that!
