Tabs
I love this song so much. I spent last night with my capo and newly fixed guitar and
tabbed it. It's great if you have a nice clean electric tone to your guitar. This may
be right but its my first tab so enjoy!!!!! 8D
Capo on fourrrrrrr
(Tabbed ignoring from the capo. So although 5 is one fret away from the capo it's still
to be tabbed as 5)
Intro:
--------------------0-----------------------------|
------------0h2---0-1-----------------------------|
----------------0---0-----------------------------|
-----0h2------------------------------------------| x2
--3------3----------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------------|
Mainly hammer ons but once you've got it down it sounds lovely
If you read tabs ignoring the capo (meaning 5 is always 5 but 0 is still open so its 0)
then I has it here:
--------------------0-----------------------------|
-----------0h5---0--5-----------------------------|
---------------0----0-----------------------------|
----0h6-------------------------------------------| x2
--7----7------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------------|
from now on it's basically chords. I think Alex does a thing where he plays the lowest
of the chord on the down beats and than the whole chord on the off beat. It also helps
watch Alex play cause he does it quite wonderfully
So...
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
