TABbed by Ken Taylor ([email protected])
(in my typical too-much-information fashion 🙂
Chords relative to capo 1st fret
(everything’s actually one half step up from what’s written)
(chord arrangement with lyrics appears at end)
Intro/Verse chords:
Am7 — x02010
Cadd11 — xx3010
C/G — 3×2010
Cadd11/G — 3×3010
D7sus2 — xx0210
E — 022100
Strumming pattern is something like this (play
along with album to figure it out):
(intro repeats this measure 4x)
(verse does it 2x)
Am7 Cadd11
|————0—0——0—0-|
|————1—1—-1-1—1-|
|———0—0——-0-0—-|
|———2———3—3——|
|—0—0———————|

C/G Cadd11 (2x)
|————0—0——0—0-|
|————1—1—-1-1—1-|
|———0—0——-0-0—-|

E
(just kinda strummed similar to previous patterns
… listen to album)
pre chorus:
chords just kinda strummed … listen to album
Am — x02210
G/B — x2x033
Cadd9 — x32033
Dsus2 — x00230
F — 133211
E — 022100
Chorus pattern:
(actually electric guitar just plays one note
instead of chords … but chords sound
better on an acoustic)
A5 E5 A5B5 F5 E5 E5 B5
|—————————|—————————-|
|—————————|—————————-|
|——2——2/4~~~~-4——|—————————-|
|——2—2—2/4~~~~-4—3—|—3—2—2—-7/9-9-9-9-9-4—|
|-(0)-0—2—0/2~~~~-2-0-3—|—3—2—2—-5/7-7-7-7-7-2—|
|———0—————1—|—1—0—0——————-|
usually plays 1 3/4 times (silence the last 2 beats)
(ie ends on second E5)
the bridge chords:
Asus2 — x02200 (this one loud)
Asus2/G — 3×2200 (the rest quiet)
F — 133211
E — 022100
Dsus2 — x00230
E — 022100
The last pre-chorus is different,
it goes
Am G/B Cadd9 Dsus2 then:
F — 133211
Ffun — 133200 (it’s actually FM7add11 …
G — 355433 but Ffun is shorter 🙂
G6 — 355400
F — 133211
Ffun — 133200
G — 355433
E — 022100
F — 133211
Ffun — 133200
E — 022100
again, listen to album to get it 🙂
Before the last chorus, there’s a cool descending thing
that I think is actually done mostly on the bass, but
you can emulate it if you want to when playing the song
on an acoustic:
E5 D5 C5 B5 A#5
|———————————|
|———————————|
|———————————|
|——9——7——5——4——3—|
|——7-0-0-5-0-0-3-0-0-2-0-0-1—|
|—0——————————|
Last chorus repeats Chorus Pattern 5 times, then:
End Pattern:
A5 E5 A5B5 F5

|——2——2/4~~~~-4——|
|——2—2—2/4~~~~-4—3—|
