Because The Night Tab by Patti Smith

Because The Night tab by Patti Smith

Guitar Tab

The first version I found here had just a couple wrong notes and was a little more
complicated that it had to be.  I've gone through and tried to correct and make it
slightly easier.

Basic Version (no bends) with all the notes, played mostly on the first form of the Bm
Pentatonic scale:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------7------|
B|----------------------------------------7---7---7------10~--------|
G|-------------------------------7-9-7-9------------9-7-------------|
D|-------------------------7-9--------------------------------------|
A|---5555555555555555 7-9-------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---7----------------------------------------7-10 --12--14~---------|
|-----10-7-------------7-7--------------7-10------------------------|
|-----------9-7----7-9------9~------7-9-----------------------------|
|----------------9---------------7-9--------------------------------|
|------------------------------9------------------------------------|
