Godfather - Love Theme tab by Soundtracks

• Capo on 3rd

Nino Rota - The Godfather Love Theme

measure = 4/4
tempo = 100 bpm
in the key of Em

Personally, I think it sounds best with capo on 3.
All notes are consecutive eighth notes, with an exception in the bridge,
where the skipped beat is marked with a "~".

Remember that the bass strings E, A and D are only played with the thumb,
and strings G, B and E are played with index, middle and ring finger
respectively.

The last notes () on strings B and E are harmonics.
If you are a beginner player, and you don't know what harmonics are, just
play them open (0) to end the song.

If you are an intermediate player, feel free to add some slides here and
there. Let the bass notes ring out as long as possible.


Enjoy!
