I just finished watching "Joss Plays the Firefly Theme." I'd have liked to have seen him play it, though, b/c while the normal theme is very difficult to tab, this isn't. I know Tash did a real good version of "Hero of Canton" a while back and I was wondering if anyone else with a guitar could help me figure out the acoustic-only theme. Here's what i've got, I think the progression is right, but in the wrong key.

A
Take my love
E
Take my land
D
Take me where I
E
Cannot stand... (there's a minor chord here)

That's all i've got so far. Help me out! Let's hear Browncoats playing this from coast to coast!

I've got it.

The trick to playing it in key is a capo on the first fret. For those without I'll give the cords as they are fingered.

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

I wouldn't have figured this out without hearing Joss. Love it, love it.

This is my favorite show.

Someone needed lyrics. How 'bout the chords for Joss's demo.

I haven't played it through, but I think there's 4/5 measures at the end of each phrase. That means just adding an extra beat at the end of the line. I've put an asterix where the extra beat falls
