I'm not in love (1975)
(Stewart/Gouldman)


A great song, but it is quite difficult to find out what is going on in
all of these layers of sound. In order to create a tab for one guitar, one
has to make decisions: including some of the notes while neglecting others for
reasons of playability and overall sound.

🎸

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

The G and Gm in the verses, for example, might well be G6 and Gm6 respectively.
But I decided against including these options because in a single-guitar version
they tend to over-emphasize the change here while obscuring the continuity from
one G chord (G major) to another (G minor), which, to my ears, is more important
here. Anyway, I included voicings for G6 and Gm6 in the chords section that sound
good, Include them if you like and create a version that suits you!

So, here is my reading of this classic. Suggestions and comments are very
welcome!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

capo: 2nd fret
For the original chords, transpose this tab up 2 steps.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHORDS
        E-A-D-G-B-e
G/A     x-0-5-4-3-0 (= G6/A or A11)
A       x-0-7-6-5-0
A#dim   x-1-2-3-2-0
G6      3-x-0-0-0-0
Gm6     3-x-0-3-3-0
F#m/A#  x-1-x-3-2-2
Bm/A    x-0-4-4-3-2
G/D     x-x-0-4-3-3
F/D     x-x-0-5-6-5

I suggest the following voicings for the middle 8 to highlight the bass line:

Gm      x-x-5-3-3-3
Gm/F    x-x-3-3-3-3
C/E     x-x-2-0-1-0
C       x-3-2-0-1-0
F       x-x-3-2-1-1
F/E     x-x-2-2-1-1
F/D     x-x-0-2-1-1
F/C     x-3-x-2-1-1
C/D     x-x-0-0-1-0
D       x-x-0-2-3-2
