One Word chords by Anouk (Ver. 2)

ANOUK: One Word
Album: Hotel New York
Tabbed by: Evert Lancel

On CD the song is played in a lower tuning (Eb). I here put it in standard tuning.
If you want to play along with the song, than you need to either tune your guitar
half a note lower, or make a copy of the song in higher pitch, using some
free sound editing software (Audacity). That's a lot easier than retuning all the
time.

Chords in Standard Tuning:

D add9 sus4   x54030 (for short Dadd9..)
Am9      x05500
Dsus2      xx0230
Asus2      x02200
Em7       022030 (I like 02x030, because the basses come out stronger)
Bbm7      x24232
G        355433
Csus2      x35533

The strumming rhythm is very important: The first short strums should be on the bass
tones only and the short strums for the rest of the measure should emphasis the
higher tones (while playing the base strings as well. Although it varies all the time
(just listen well), in a 16th measure it is basically like this
(V = strumming downwards, A = strumming upwards):

|V-V-VAVA--VAVA--|
