Masquerade tab by I Am Kloot

Guitar tabs with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

From 2013's Let It All In album

I've made a tab out, followed by a fake arrangement with the chords only

Standard tuning
Capo 4 to play along to the original

D MajorD            xx0232
A augmentedA            x02220
G+G            320003
E minorEm           022000
Em(addmaj7)  021000
E minor 7Em7          020000

Riff - this pattern is the basis for most of this wonderful tune
It's practically one note per syllable of the lyric so the rhythm isn't too bad
Don't be intimidated!
