Tabs
"Sister" by Lenny Kravitz from Mtv Unplugged Session Thanks to Jonathan Feldman for his tab of the cd version of the song. Altough I've never heard the cd version I think he got some of the chords wrong. I'm sure about the chords I post because I saw the video of the unplugged session. The transition bits I transcribe are just simple runs Lenny plays in chord changes. Lenny's Guitar is tuned down half-step Chords (from low to high) Fmaj7Fmaj7 xx3210 Fadd9Fadd9 xx3213 C majorC x30210 Esus4Esus4 532x00 or x02x00 (almost the same but easier; I use it in the tab) G+G 320033 G7sus4G7sus4 1x0011 (he just slides down 2 frets the G+G chord)

On the 2nd and 4th times he plays differently the C majorC to Esus4Esus4 chord transition: 2nd Time play Esus4Esus4 normally e------------------|-----0--- B--0h1-0h1-0h1-0h1-|-----0--- G------------------|-x---x--- D------------------|-2---2--- A------------------|-0---0--- E------------------|-x---x--- 4nd Time play Esus4Esus4 normally e---------------------|-----0--- B---------------------|-----0--- G---------------------|-x---x--- D-0h2-0h2-0h2-0-------|-2---2--- A---------------3-2-0-|-0---0--- E---------------------|-x---x--- On "And he stole you're only heart" play: G+G G7sus4G7sus4 Esus4Esus4 Then: G+G Esus4Esus4 G(just single strum) Now repeat all over again. Bridge Chord Progresson on "If they knock on your door.." (All barre chords; FF and C majorC at the 8th fret; A augmentedA on the 5th) FF C majorC G+G A augmentedA FF C majorC G+G G+G (X2) End repeating Esus4Esus4 Fmaj7.

If you have the unplugged version it will be easy to find where these happen. During the Slash's solo Lenny keeps playing G+G Esus4Esus4 indefinitly.
