Sandalwood tab by Lisa Loeb
Guitar Tab
OLGA's original version was by "Teri V-B" saintabby@hotmail.com This new edit is by Roxberrysoop (citizenforroxberrysoop@yahoo.com) Sandalwood from Tails Lisa Loeb Tune the low E down to C#
The A up to B and
The D up to E
The three chords she plays around with for the
beginning verses and the last part are stripped
down versions of these (she doesn^Òt use all the
strings all the time:)
e---------------------
B---------------------
G-----4-----4----4----
E-----0-----0----0h2--
B-----0-----0----0----
C#----0-----3---------
For the fuller verses, she alternates between playing
the lower 2 or 3 stings and then the other strings of
these chords:
e-----0--------------0---0-------
B-----0-------4------0------4----
G-----4-------4------4---------2-
E-----0-------0------0h2---------
B-----0-------0------0-----------
C#----0-------3------------------
The first two chords are strum upwards (after hitting
the lower strings.) This is important for the flow of
the chorus. The stepping down at the end is very soft.
For the change between the verse and chorus,
the chord is:
e-----0-----
B-----2-----
G-----2-----
E-----0-----
B-----2-----
C#----x-----
But only play the e string after the first change;
the time when she sings "But I'll be the...."
Lastly, there's the riff she uses in that chord to
get back into the verse. This is most pronounced
the last (3rd) time:
e---0------0----0------0---------0--------
B---0h2p0--0----0h2p0--2---------0----4---
G---2------2----2------2---------1----4---
E---0------0----0------0----2----x----0---
B---2------2----2-----------0----x----0---
C#-------------------------------0----3---
...and so on.
Happy playing. This really is a beautiful song.
