Chords with lyrics
So today I present the tablature for the song True Love by Canadian musician Tobias Jesso Jr, this song was
released as a demo preceding the release of his debut LP entitled Goon. I saw him live in last night (or some
point in the past depending on when you're reading this) in his hometown of Vancouver, BC among tracks from
Goon and a couple of covers he played this track which really stuck with me as it was probably the first I
heard from him. As with my previous tabs I have taken the piano chords and translated them to guitar as best
as possible, it isn't perfect by any means but it sounds pretty spot on. This tab features a few minor 7th
chords and a couple of slash chords, neither of which are particularly complicated in this instance but I have
marked the tab as 'intermediate' The only thing that doesn't translate particularly well are the opening
chords of the intro, if you listen to the piano recording you should be able to figure out the little fills
in the intro, if you can't then email me (mynameisramone(@)gmail.com) and I'll sort you out with some proper
instructions, best of luck learning this, and try to see Tobias live, you will not regret it.
