ANOUK: One Word Album: Hotel New York Tabbed by: Evert Lancel On CD the song is played in a lower tuning (Eb). I here put it in standard tuning. If you want to play along with the song, than you need to either tune your guitar half a note lower, or make a copy of the song in higher pitch, using some free sound editing software (Audacity). That's a lot easier than retuning all the time. Chords in Standard Tuning: D add9 sus4 x54030 (for short Dadd9..) Am9 x05500 Dsus2 xx0230 Asus2 x02200 Em7 022030 (I like 02x030, because the basses come out stronger) Bbm7 x24232 G 355433 Csus2 x35533 The strumming rhythm is very important: The first short strums should be on the bass tones only and the short strums for the rest of the measure should emphasis the higher tones (while playing the base strings as well. Although it varies all the time (just listen well), in a 16th measure it is basically like this (V = strumming downwards, A = strumming upwards): |V-V-VAVA--VAVA--| (INTRO) Dadd9.. Am9 Dadd9..
