Little Willow tab by Paul McCartney
Guitar Tab
^ÓLittle Willow^Ô Written and Performed by Paul McCartney (Flaming Pie ^Ö 1997) Tabbed by Lindsay Stamhuis (macca05@beatlemail.com) This is my first shot at tabbing, but I think I did a fairly good job! This song was already archived (by Phil Callan) but it was only the chords, so I listened very closely to the song to get the finger-picking to sound right. The chords below are all what he came up with, except in his tab, the Em/D was written as Asus4 ^Ö I think the way I^Òve written it is the correct way, his was just one string off. For the sake of efficiency, I^Òm only going to tab the first and second verses and the chorus, because it^Òs very repetitious. The basic structure goes like this:
-Intro
-Verse 1
-Verse 2
-Chorus
-Verse 3 (same as verse 1)
-Verse 4 (same as verse 1)
-Instrumental 1 (same as verse 2)
-Chorus
-Verse 1
-Verse 2
-Instrumental 2
