Subject: TAB: Five-String Serenade — Mazzy Star
The original is by Albert Lee/ Love, but this is the Mazzy Star version from
`So Tonight that I Might See’:
Verse:
G A5 C
This is my five-string serenade
G A5 C
Beneath the waters at play
G A5 C
And while I’m playing for you
G A5 C
It could (might) be raining there too
Chorus:
C D
And on my easel I drew
C D
While I was thinking of you
C D
And on the roof of my head
C D
In came my five-string serenade
G C G(strum)
End: This is my five-string serenade
The song follows the pattern: | A5:
| E 0
Verse | A 0
Verse | D 2
Chorus | G 2
Verse | B 0
Chorus | E x
End |
Picking:
Picking is the same for each line of the verse:
G A5 C
E———————————
B—————————1——
G———-0——0——0——0—0
D———0——2——2—2——2—
A——2——0——3—————
E—0h3—————————-
The first three lines of the chorus are:
C D
E—————————2——
B————1————3——3—0
G——-0——0—0—2—2——2—
D——2—2——2—0—————
A—3——————————
E———————————-
Then the final line of the chorus goes like this:
C D
E—————————-2h3p2—————2h3p2——
B———-1————-3———3———3———3—0-
G——0——0—0——2—2———2—-2—2————
D—-2—2——2——0——————0——————
A—3——————————————————-
E———————————————————-
And then back to the verse.
Hope that’s clear — it’s really fairly simple.
