Hand In My Pocket chords by Alanis Morissette
Guitar chords with lyrics
I know this song is pretty basic, musically, but I figured it would be timely and work well in my solo acoustic sets around the San Jose-area coffeehouses. Since I went to the trouble of transcribing all the lyrics, I can't see a reason not to share it here! I believe Alanis sings this in the key of D; to accomodate my male singing voice, I have transposed it down to Bb (or B, depending on capo placement). I use 'open-A' fingering, with the capo on the first or second fret. I've shown the music below as just being in 'A', however. (Put your capo on the 5th fret to play along with the record, or transpose this back to the open-D position without a capo).

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
As the music is basically a 'drone' type of sound, I use variations of the
basic open-A chord position to lend some variance to my solo accompaniment,
namely, the -sus2 and -sus4 forms of the basic A-chord, as follows:
A Asus2 Asus4
e--0----0------0-------
B--2----0------3-------
G--2----2------2-------
D--2----2------2-------
A--0----0------0-------
E--x----x------x-------
The chord variations below are only suggestions;
mix 'em up as you see fit!

VERSION 2
This is a great song that took forever to figure out, so I got the JLP
songbook. After a while and after learning the chords I finally figured
out the
live version of the song (with my own little things added). What are we
waiting
for!?!

A few things...
(1). Each space is a sixteenth note (e.i. four spaces equal a
quarter note)
(2). This song uses the regular E,A,D,G,B,E tuning (E,B,G,D,A,E
if you prefer)
(3). This song sounds nice both w/ an electric (clean) and an
acoustic. I'm not sure about a 12-string (cause I don't
have one!!!)
