"I'm One"(Pete Townshend)
From "Quadrophenia"(1973)
This song uses a variation of standard
G-Major fingerpicking.
The usual fingerpicking pattern in G is something
like this, using G (320003)and C/G (3x2013):
G C/G
e---3---------|--------------|
b---0-------0-|---1--------0-|
G--------0----|--------0-----|
D---0------0--|---2------2---|
A-------------|--------------|
E-3----3------|-3----3-------|
The variation switches out the C/G for a chord that
can be called Gsus4add9, D7sus4/G or Am7/G depending
on which notes sound: 3x0213.
It feels to me like it's played against a continuing G,
so I'll keep it as a variation on the tonic abbreviated G4:
G G4 G G4
e---3-----------------|-------------------|
b---0-------0h1---1---|---3------0h1---1--|
G------0------2----2--|-----0------2----2-|
D---0-----0-----0-----|---0---0------0----|
A---------------------|-------------------|
E-3----3----3-----3---|-3---3----3----3---|
Note that Pete also double-times the bass notes from
the standard method, with 4 low Gs per bar, and 3
Ds, as opposed to 2 and 2.

[Intro]
G G4 x4
[Verse]
G G4 G G4
Every year is the same and I feel it again,
G G4 G G4
I'm a loser, no chance to win.
G G4 G G4
Leaves start falling, comedown is calling,
G G4 G G4
loneliness starts sinking in.
[Chorus]
D D2 F D2 D D2 F D2
But I'm one...........I am one!
Fmaj7 D2/F#
And I can see that this is me,
Fmaj7 Em D2/F# G
and I will be, you'll all see I'm the one!
G G4 x4
[Verse]
G G4 G G4
Where do you get those blue, blue jeans,
G G4 G G4
faded patched secret so tight?
G G4 G G4
Where do you get that walk oh so lean,
G G4 G G4
your shoes and your shirts all just right?
[Chorus]
D D2 F C D D2 F C
I'm one........I am one!
Fmaj7 D2/F#
And I can see that this is me,
Fmaj7 Em D2/F# G
and I will be, you'll all see I'm the one!
[Verse]
G G4 G G4
I got a Gibson, without a case,
G G4 G G4
but I can't get that even-tanned look on my face,
G G4 G G4
Ill-fitting clothes and I blend in the crowd,
G G4 G G4
fingers so clumsy, voice too loud...
[Chorus]
D D2 F C D F C
But I'm one........I am one!
Fmaj7 D2/F#
And I can see that this is me,
Fmaj7 Em D2/F# G
and I will be, you'll all see I'm the one!
G4 G G4 G G4 G
I'm the one! I'm the one!
