Tabs
Bones – Ben Howard
First ever tab and I know it’s not perfect but it sounds more or less right so I’m open
to suggestions for changes :)
Tuning: CGCGGC
Capo 5th fret, leave the 6E string uncapped
all fret numbers are relative to the capo (obviously with the exception to the low 
E MajorE string)
First time he plays this:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------2p0-----0--0--------------------------------------------------|
A----2h4-4--0---4p0-0--0--------------------------------------------------|
E----0---0--0---0---9--7--------------------------------------------------|
*Strum the last two chords to make it sound like the album version
Then he uses this variation throughout the verse:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------2h4p2p0-----------------0--0----------------------------------|
A----2h4-4--0-------0h4-0-2-2h4p2p0-0--0----------------------------------|
E----0---0--0-----------0-0-0-------9--7----------------------------------|
Then I’m not too sure about the chorus but it goes something like this:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G----0~~~-------7---4-----------------------------------------------------|
D----0~~~-------0---0-----------------------------------------------------|
A----0~~~-------7---4-----------------------------------------------------|
E----5~~~------12---9-----------------------------------------------------| x3
Let the first chord ring (the first time of the chorus), then strum the other two chords
and that’s pretty much the song, it just repeats throughout the song.
Song Order:
-Verse 1
-Chorus
-Verse 2
-Chorus x2
-Outro
