First Love Acoustic Tab by The Maccabees

First Love Acoustic tab by The Maccabees

Guitar Tab

This is the Orlando Weeks solo acoustic version. I hope it's correct, and not too complicated.

The intro is the same as the first 4 bars of original song.
This version is just strumed a little different, you might agree it sounds better using
thumb to strum rather than a pick.

Intro

The lyrics come in the second time played (first love, last love...)

Verse

Do you miss home...

G|----6----6----6----6----|
D|----7----7----7----7----|  x2
A|----7----7----7----7----|
E|----5----0----5----0----|

And are you cool...

This is the same as before but it "speeds up" or to use technical terms, you play
instead of semi-breves.
e|-5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------|
B|-5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------|
G|-6-6-6-6------6-6-6-6------6-6-6-6------6-6-6-6------|
D|-7-7-7-7-x2---7-7-7-7-x2---7-7-7-7-x2---7-7-7-7-x2---|
A|-7-7-7-7------7-7-7-7------7-7-7-7------7-7-7-7------|
E|-5-5-5-5------0-0-0-0------5-5-5-5------0-0-0-0------|


Chorus

Let's get married...

These are the same speed as the second part of the verse. (quavers)
e|-2-------|
B|-3-------|
G|-4-------|
D|-4-------|
A|-2--x16--|
E|---------|

e|-5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------5-5-5-5------|

after the second chorus
(I will have to make do)

same speed as before (quaver)
e|-2--|
B|-3--|
G|-2--|
D|----| x16
A|----|
E|----|

At this point (and it's my mistake) an open D chord is played and then a Bminor bar
*both shown below*

D

e|-2--|
B|-3--|
G|-2--|
D|----|
A|----|
E|----|

B minor

e|-2---|

The next part (i've made my bed...) is the same but played "faster" (as quavers)

Outro

G|--11--x8-----11--x8-----11--x8-----11--x8-----|
D|--11---------11---------11---------12---------|  x2
A|--0----------9----------11---------11---------|
