Tuning:
EBDGBE
Capo: none
Notes:
the verse consists of the following chord progression.
it's not tab, but i don't know what to call the chords, since none of them is a
standard chord shape. i might be able to find a chord template somewhere, but
i'm lazy :-p.
the D-high E strings stay
barred on the 9th for almost the entire song, but unfortunately not the entire
song, so you can't just capo it. the rhythm is almost a slowed down alternating
thumb pick, she plays the low E and B and then strums the rest. if you listen
carefully, it sounds like the chord progression has a fourth chord, but i think
she's just stressing different notes.
as for the chorus, just
start out with the 9th barred, (including low E and B), then slide up to the
11th and back down to the 9th. the third chord's a little sketchy, do with it
what you will. enjoy!
