What Am I Supposed To Do tab by Saturdays At Your Place

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Tuning: Half-step down


Rhythm Chords

Intro/Verse/Solo backing/pretty much the entire song except for a bit near the end

Listen with the song to get the timing down

There are parts where you let the E chord ring for a few seconds like at "slowly I make sense of your face"
and then transiton to just normal strumming of the Amaj9

Also, for parts like when the distortion kicks in, can add another strum in of each chord before switching

eb|-----------------|
Bb|-0---0-0-0---0-0-|
Gb|-1---1-1-1---1-1-|
Db|-2---2-2-2---2-2-|
Ab|-2---2-2-0---0-0-|
Eb|-0---0-0---------|

Other chord part near the end of the song ("I swear we've had talks about this")

you can either have the E string be open or play 7 on E with the first chord, both sound fine.

eb|-----------------|
Bb|-----------------|
Gb|-8-------6-------|
Db|-9-(x16)-6-x(16)-| x3
Ab|-7-------4-------|
Eb|-0-------4-------|

After that, chords go back to the first progression until end of song
