Give It Away tab by Zero 7

Tabs

Here's a beautiful tune by British producers/composers Henry Binns
and Sam Hardaker, who are the core of the Zero 7 musical outfit.
The piece is from their great debut album, 'Simple Things'. It's
basically a simple riff on acoustic guitar with Fender Rhodes and
string improvisation in the background.

The tune is played in DbDb key but it can be easier to play in BB key
with a capo on second fret. I enclose the tab for the latter but
conversion is simple.

Chord bar lines (both alternatives) are:

Bar A: DbDb     Abm7Abm7 (BB      F#m7F#m7)
Bar B: BMaj7Bmaj7 F#9F#9  AbmAbm (Amaj7Amaj7 E9E9  F# minorF#m)
Bar C: Abm9Abm9 AbmAbm  Abm7Abm7 (F#m9F#m9 F# minorF#m  F#m7F#m7)

Notes: in all cases above 9 means add ninth, not seventh with a
ninth; Also some chords are played without the root note.

The basic song structure is - Ax3 BB Ax3 BB Ax3 C majorC
On the second part these are just chords played arpeggio with the
trumpet solo, closing part the riff again until fade.

Enjoy!
