                                 If You See Her, Say Hello - Jeff Buckley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transcribed by: Amilien

This is Jeff's cover of Bob Dylan's 'If You See Her, Say hello' as performed live at Sin-é (from the
album, 'Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-é')

Its played with a slide so you will need one if you don't have one. I play this with the slide on my index
finger.

This is my first tab so hopefully its legible. I've played it to the song and it sounds pretty much
100% accurate to me.

Tuning: Open D

e - D
B - A
G - F#
D - D
A - A
E - D

CAPO: 2nd Fret
Tab notation relative to capo


Notation 🏷Legend:

~~ or ~ : Use slide and move your finger back and forth (or up and down) to rapidly vibrate to create sound
+~ : Smack your slide down on the fret and vibrate
~| : Use your slide but don't vibrate, just rest it on the fret
h : Hammer on
p : Pull off
B : bend
R : release
s : slide (between frets, using your finger slide)
* : strum for as long as necessary (listen to song to know how long)

You use the slide for most parts, the parts without a ~ above mean you play them with your fingers

Main Riff:

In the tab I have simplified the main riff so that that tab isn't too confusing or messy. It looks like this:

D  |-0s12s5s0---|
A  |-0s12s5s0---|
F# |-0s12s5s0---|
D  |-0s12s5s0---|
A  |-0s12s5s0---|
D  |-0s12s5s0---|

If you cant work out how to play it exactly, here it is note for note, however its quite hard to portray
accurately. A / means you strum.

The tab starts after he says 'This would be much better if we weren't recording, is everyone alright?' -
I haven't worked out the first intro yet.
