The Zolas: Marionettes: Album: Tic Tic Toc Note: The chorus is not complete. I can't quite figure out some of the chords. Hopefully someone with a better ear than me (this is my first tabbed song) can sort out the chorus and upload a version 2. (and possibly fix some of the chord names, if I got any wrong; some of the higher up the fret chord names I was sort of guessing at based on the root note. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mhz1g3VyBw Intro: A Major, Barred at 5: 577655.

(Into chorus again) During the Chorus: (The piano here is alternating between E and A, which you can get with your A Major or A Minor at 5, strumming your A and D string. That little high piano riff before the guitar comes in is C# and A; the C# is on the e string at fret9, the A is on the b string at fret10. You can actually build a finger picking pattern on this by barring at 7 and hitting your 3rd finger on the e string at 9, and your pinky on the b string at 10. It's slightly uncomfortable. Leaving out the piano part lets you hang out in an A Major at 5 and be readier for the chord shift up to B Major).
