                I'm Alive - Electric Light Orchestra

E|---------------|||| 

Written by: Jeff Lynne
From: "Xanadu" (1980)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

The change in the verses between the
 two diminished chords (at the 
beginning
"Edim" and "C#dim") is due to the 
root that is played by the bass on 
the ELO
recording. It is not necessary to 
change here as the two chords are
basically the same, just different 
inversions of the same notes 
("Edim":
E-Bb-Db-G and "C#dim": C#-G-Bb-E). I
 still think the change sounds nice.

But what can I say?
