------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Down In The Valley - The Head and The Heart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Stefano Prezioso Email: stefprez@gmail.com This is my first tab. Watching the live version of the song on Youtube helped me figure some of it out. In the beginning, the thumb plays triplets as a rhythm bass while the other fingers strum eighth notes and triplets. Kind of tricky, but it's not too bad with some practice. The hand holds a C position while moving the fingers to play the melody. The pinky plays the 3rd fret on the high E and B strings. The middle finger shifts down from the D string to the G string to play the second fret, then returns to the D string for the ending of the intro. Tuning: Standard I'm self titling the chords since I have no idea if they are actually named or not. This is to help give an idea of which fingers go where.

Just thought I'd put up a correct version of the intro! ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
