--------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not in love - 10cc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard 10cc I'm not in love (1975) (Stewart/Gouldman) From: "The Original Soundtrack" A augmentedA 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. The G+G and G minorGm in the verses, for example, might well be G6G6 and Gm6Gm6 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+G chord (G+G major) to another (G+G minor), which, to my ears, is more important here. Anyway, I included voicings for G6G6 and Gm6Gm6 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/AG/A x-0-5-4-3-0 (= G6/AG6/A or A11A11) A augmentedA x-0-7-6-5-0 A# diminished A#dim x-1-2-3-2-0 G6G6 3-x-0-0-0-0 Gm6Gm6 3-x-0-3-3-0 F#m/A# x-1-x-3-2-2 Bm/ABm/A x-0-4-4-3-2 G/DG/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: G minorGm x-x-5-3-3-3 Gm/F x-x-3-3-3-3 C/EC/E x-x-2-0-1-0 C majorC x-3-2-0-1-0 FF x-x-3-2-1-1 F/E x-x-2-2-1-1 F/D x-x-0-2-1-1 F/CF/C x-3-x-2-1-1 C/DC/D x-x-0-0-1-0 D MajorD x-x-0-2-3-2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 2nd fret
