Emmylou by Vance Joy

Tabs

---Standard tuning
  No capo

---Set tempo on 0.8

---The song consists of only 3 chords : F, Chord diagramA minorAm and G.
  I guess it is not necessary to explain the chords any further.

---Almost throughout the entire song he plays this riff, again and again:


  Chord diagramFF             Chord diagramFF

e|-------------------------|-------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|------------------1------|------------------1------|
Chord diagramG+G|----2-------0h2------2---|----2-------0h2------2---|

Chord diagramA augmentedA|-3-------3--3---3------3-|-3-------3--3---3------3-|

  Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramG+G

Chord diagramD MajorD|----2--2-----------------|----0--0----0--------0---|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-0-------0--0---0------0-|-------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-------------------------|-3-------3--3---3------3-|

---In live versions he leaves out the first hammer-on in the Am-sequence. He plays
  a simple -0- there instead.


---At the end of each part of the song(verse, chorus) he plays the alternative
  Chord diagramG+G (further only G*)instead of the usual G-sequence and makes a short pause at the end
  of it.

  G*            (let it ring)

e|-----------------------------------------|

Chord diagramD MajorD|----0--0----0-------0--------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-----------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-3-------3--3---3-----3--3---------------|

INTRO_____________________________________________

---In some versions he starts singing the verse straightaway, in others he plays
  the whole riff twice for the INTRO.
VERSE 1___________________________________________


  Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramA minorAm          Chord diagramG+G

Oh if you're losing sleep...

Oh if you're losing sleep, scared of shadows.

  Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramFF

Oh see it's just a chair,

  Chord diagramA minorAm           Chord diagramG+G

see the clothes hang there.

 Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramA minorAm         G*

VERSE 2___________________________________________

You wear your socks to bed.
You wear your socks to bed, that's what I do.
Oh c'mon sleepyhead, get yourself to bed.
Don't go losin', oh, the nighttime.


CHORUS____________________________________________

Oh don't feel bad.
Well I never have, since I got you, my Emmylou.


---From this part on, he strums the same chords.

--- The strumming pattern is :

DD UDU DDU UDU

---Do all the hammer-ons on the 4th Down. He sometimes plays the Chord diagramA minorAm differently,
  releasing all the strings for the last DU.

BRIDGE__________________________________________


---In the bridge he plays Chord diagramFF sequence without hammer-ons and with a strumming pattern:
  DD UDU. He repeats the pattern 4 times, then he proceeds to Chord diagramA minorAm and Chord diagramG+G that are played
  as I described before. In the rest of the song he plays the Chord diagramFF with the hammer-ons
  and with the same pattern as the other chords.


 Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramA minorAm        Chord diagramG+G


   You are loved, you are loved, you are  loved.

---Do the same with the other three:

You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.


---Do one additional down-stroke at the end and then make a short pause(like in G*)


CHORUS__________________________________________

---Do the same again.

No don't feel bad.
Well I never have, now that I've got you, my Emmylou.


---Aaaand, that's the whole song. It is a great piece and I hope I did it justice.
  Have a nice day :)

Full lyrics__________________________________________


[Verse 1:]
Oh if you're losing sleep...
Oh if you're losing sleep, scared of shadows.
See it's just a chair, see the clothes hang there.
Oh don't go losing sleep, scared of shadows.

[Chorus:]
Oh don't feel bad.
I never have, since I got you, my Emmylou.

[Verse 2:]
You wear your socks to bed.
You wear your socks to bed, that's what I do.
Oh c'mon sleepyhead, get yourself to bed.
Don't go losin', oh, the nighttime.

[Chorus:]
Oh, don't feel bad.
I never have, since I got you, my Emmylou.

You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.

[Chorus:]
Oh now, don't feel bad.
Well I never have.
Now that I've got you, my Emmylou.
No don't feel bad.
Well I never have, now that I've got you, my Emmylou.
