Here’s a song I tabbed I thought you might want to add to the archive.
-Ken.
«Shelter» by The Alarm
There are actually two guitars, one playing the chords, another playing the
Lead riffs.
I believe the song is written in the key of A, if this helps.
Chords:
B5 x2440x
A x02220
D x00232
E 022100
For each riff, I just use the strings it uses to save a little space.
Riff 1:
E|—2—0————————
B|-0—0—-0-3—0-2—0-0-0—-0—
G|—————————2-2—
Riff 2:
E|-4-2-0-5—2-0—4-
B|—————3—
Riff 3:
E|-4-5-7-7-5-7-7-4-5-
(Lyrics may not be exactly right, I’m writing from memory)
Intro: B5, play Riff 1, pause, play again (second time is actually slightly
Different)
