Tabs
Celtic New Year Van Morrison Magic Time Tabbed by Olly; Guns N' Roses forever! I love this album, I reckon it's the best by Van the man, but there are some other great too. I haven't put the guitar fills in, but they're pretty easy to figure out. This song is simple, just this riff most of the time and some synth chords; easy stuff. Check out my tab of Doctor Doctor by UFO (ver. 4), it needs rating, and I swear to god perfect (though perfection by its very nature is flawed, so there could be some errors in the intro...) Right, to business. You could use a capo for this song, I think he does, but I don't own and it's pretty easy without. The first chord is D#, played open like this: E MajorE|-3-| ...in four successive semi-quavers, then a one-beat rest. BB|-4-| It's the same rhythm for all the chords, just listen to the song, G+G|-3-| real easy. D MajorD|-5-| A augmentedA|-6-| E MajorE|---| Second chord, you add the 2nd (or the 9th, it doesn't really matter, they're the same), you have a shape like this: E MajorE|---| Non capo users: I recommend barre-ing with your index finger BB|-5-| (obviously), holding the low D#D# on the A augmentedA string with your ring G+G|-3-| finger, Pinkie on the 9th (BB string), and middle finger on the G+G D MajorD|-5-| (D MajorD string). A augmentedA|-6-| E MajorE|---| After that it's a G#G# barre chord, and an A#A# barre chord, which I prefer to play like this: E MajorE|---| ...simply laying your ring finger across the third fret, 'coz that BB|-3-| way it's easier to get back to the D#D# chord. G+G|-3-| D MajorD|-3-| A augmentedA|-1-| E MajorE|---| D#D# D#D# 2 G#G# A#A# E MajorE|-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------------------------------------| BB|-4-4-4-4-4-------6-6-6-6-6-------4-4-4-4-4-------3-3-3-3-3-------| G+G|-3-3-3-3-3-------3-3-3-3-3-------5-5-5-5-5-------3-3-3-3-3-------| D MajorD|-5-5-5-5-5-------5-5-5-5-5-------6-6-6-6-6-------3-3-3-3-3-------| A augmentedA|-6-6-6-6-6-------6-6-6-6-6-------6-6-6-6-6-------1-1-1-1-1-------| E MajorE|---------------------------------4-4-4-4-4-----------------------|
