Guitar tabs
**Only when I sleep** By the Corrs, from the album Talk on corners. Figured out by Simon Forsman. Some of the chords on this song is kinda odd, and I don't know what they're called. But on the bottom of this page I'll show you the tabs on theese chords. And in the end of the verses there's a guitar riff - check bottom of page. The bass is always going B, A, E, A augmentedA on the verses, but the guitar sometimes (or always) go to the A6/Db-chord instead of the bass's A. So if you wanna variate: Instead of the A's on the verses, use the A6/Db-chord (see tab). And instead of the E's on the verses the guitar sometimes goes to some kind of E/Ab-chord... But if you're only using the guitar and no bass, you might aswell just play all the ordinary chords. Sounds better. There's a riff in the beginning of the song. I'll give you the tab on that riff (not the entire solo). Just a nice intro... m=minor
