Losing Grip chords by Avril Lavigne

Song: Losing Grip
Artist: Avril Lavigne
Album: Let go
Tabbed by: Oliver. This is all my own work.

This is a pretty cool song by Avril and her army of producers.
If you play the basic chords and ignore the extensions
you can get it sounding reasonably close to her version. But
what makes it sound intersting is the way it's instrumented.
Everyond tunes down a fret to give it a really heavy bottom
(unlike Avril's), and the bass probably has a fifth string.
The open g and b strings in the F chord add flavor to the
mellow parts.

With some exotic vocal melodies and hip lyrics, it all
melds into a brilliant package of power-pop perfection!


Tune down one fret.
