Ballerina Lake - Scott Matthews
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Riaz Docrat
Tuning:DGDF#Ad
Capo 3rd fret.
NOTE: I tried to find a tab on the internet somewhere that could give me an idea of how
to play this amazing song, unfortunately I came up empty handed.
I do think that this is the correct tuning, Scott uses DADF#Ad a lot, so I was messing
around with that tuning, and dropping the 5th string down to a G seemed to do the trick.
I'd welcome any suggestions, this is just how I think he plays it.

Bear in mind this is just a guide, I haven't figured out all the little arpeggios in
between, this will give you a structure to work with, and I hope a better tab can come
about from this.
Cheers.

So you can mess around with those notes, the bass notes are correct I think, but the
arpeggios are anyone's call, this is what I've been trying, although I'm still trying to
figure out what he plays exactly.
Chorus
d |4---------5---------9---------12--------11\7---------7---------5---------4---------|

D |----------------------------------------0------------0---------0---------0---------|
Once again, the bass notes are correct, I'm sure, I've just added this arpeggio in to
show how it could flow, by listening to the song. Also I'm not too sure about the very
last bit of the chorus, so maybe someone could attempt that!
I hope this gives a starting point for other tabs to follow and improve.
