Hey I've been learning Everything's Not Lost on piano recently and i'm having a lot of trouble figuring out this one chord at the start of the song that keeps recurring throughout the piece..

 

If you look at the sheet music the first chord is E, G#, B (right hand) followed by F natural, G#, B. The next chord is the one i'm having trouble with, it says on the sheet that it is E, G natural, A#, C double sharp... From what I read about double sharps its two half tones above the note, so i guess that C double sharp is actually D.

 

I play that but with the left hand playing "F#" it sounds really off and i'm not sure what my mistake is! Are these the right notes?? Any help would be great, thanks

According to the sheet music I have you have it right. E, G, A#,D, and then F# with the left hand. I listened to the song, and Chris is definitely playing a D as the top note.

 

I think it's supposed to sound a little bit off. It's an odd chord. The guitar tabs on the sheet music say that it is an F#7aug, and it sounds just as odd when I play it on guitar.

 

*Shrug* maybe someone who knows a little more than I do could help, but it sounds right to me.
