------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiptoe Through the Tulips (First part only) --- play both times ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: John Miller Email: amberforever@hotmail.com Tuning:EADGBE EXPLANATORY NOTE: Between a pair of vertical lines, like bar (or measure) lines, I show the “chord-shape” to be fingered for the next little section- and if I know it, I show the chord name. DO NOT PLAY the chord at that point … play only the notes that FOLLOW, that is, play the notes between those “chord-boxes”, NOT the notes IN them. Once you start playing, note the underlying bass run up on the 5th string. At start, numbers below tab are L H fingers A 4th fgr E7 (p) e|-0-------|0|---------------|2|--2 0----|0|------|4|-4-2--|2|----|slide-- | B|---4--3--|2|--2-2----------|2|---------|3|-3-3--|4|-4----|5|-5-5|1st fngr| G|---------|2|--2-2----------|0|---------|1|-1-1--|2|-2----|2|-2-2| bar up | D|-2-4—-1--|2|-----------2---|2|---------|0|------|2|------|2|----|to 4th- | A|---------|0|--0----0 1-----|1|---------|2|-2----|3|-3----|4|-4--|-fret-- | E|---------|-|-------(h)-----|-|---------|-|------|-|------|-|----|------- | (1)(4)(3) 1st Bar at Bar at (3)(1) fngr fret 2 fret 2
