DEAR MARIE by John C. Mayer I don't make tabs often so, sorry if it's not well presented. And obviously, if you find mistakes contact me :) Video reference: 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw5wKhF1sak (great to see the intro clearly) 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oKYnjCRtnY Requirements - Know the "Stop this Train"/"Who says"/etc (other John M. songs) technique. INTRO e------------------------------------| B-----5-----------5-----------5------| G--6--------6-----------4------------| D-----7--------7--7--------7-----7---| A------------------------------------| E--5-----5-----------5---------------| Keep playing the same chords (a few times) but now using the "Stop this Train" technique: (and keep using it for the rest of the song) e----------| B--5----5--| G--6----4--| D--7----7--| A----------| E--5----5--| SINGING PART Play the same every 3 lines: (check the video to see how much he stays on each chord) "Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be" e---------------| B--5----5----10-| G--6----6h7--7--| D--7----7----7--| A------------9--| E--5----5-------| "Oh Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be" e---------------| B--5----5----10-| G--6----6h7--7--| D--7----7----7--| A------------9--| E--5----5-------| "And if you’re further up the road can you show me what I still can’t see." e--------------------| B--5----5----12---10-| G--6----6h7--9----7--| D--7----7----9----7--| A------------11---9--| E--5----5------------| ENDING And the last part where he starts strumming goes like this: e-----------|----------------|-------| B--5----10--|--5----2----10--|--5----| G--6/7--7---|--6/7--2----7---|--6/7--| D--7----7---|--7----4----7---|--7----| A-------9---|------------9---|-------| E--5--------|--5----2--------|--5----| (1x) (repeat) (end) That's it.
