Song: (Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues
Thing
Performer: Richard Ashcroft
Single: A Song For the Lovers
Writer: Richard Ashcroft

_Notes:_ Very pretty love song from Richard's debut
single. Unfortunately I've yet to acquire his album,
so as of yet this is my favorite of his solo songs.
I'm sure...:-) It's relatively simple, and the ending
reminds me of an old Verve song called "Gravity
Grave", and bases itself on two repeating chords (F,
Em). It's - almost - minimalist! :-)

_Effects:_ Set delay to 40 ms, sounds about right.
Flanger has much the same effect, with added effect
that sounds a bit like speaker phasing. Less
pedal-centric than other, earlier Verve songs, and the
vocal occasionally drowns out the guitar...

_Tuning:_ This song is played in standard tuning.
(EADGBe).

Define chords:

Dm   - XX0231 or 10,12,12,10,10,10
Em   - XX2453 or 12,14,14,12,12,12 or 022000
Dm/F - 100231
F    - XX3211 or 133211 or XX3565
E    - 022100 or 12,14,14,13,12,12
C    - X32010 or 8,10,10,9,8,8

_Rhythm:_ This song is played in 4/4 time. In the
verse play two bars of each chord, and in the chorus
it drops down to one bar per chord. Very simple
stuff...

Intro:

G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

(With heavy reverb, delay or phase)

Then: Dm, Em - 2 bars each

Verse:

Dm - 2 bars (How many...)
Em - 2 bars (days have I...)
      x4

Chorus:

F - 1 bar
E - 1 bar
Dm/F - 1 bar
C - 1 bar
  a few times (depends on which verse)

Then back to verse...

End part: (Could be a country thing...)
F - 1 bar
E - 1 bar

repeat...until end of song, whole sequence.

section where things like this are exchanged but as
this is an Ashy tab it does not fit...
