This is my first ever time writing a tab. Mainly because the other dear diary song is in chord form when Stephen Lynch did his gig live, so I tried to tab this by ear. Took me a while... so go easy :D As an example for lyrics I've written in the first time Stephen Lynch sings it on the album. Enjoy. Feedback is welcome because I'm only a novice guitarist! :D ______________________________________________ |Key: | |(*~)= let ring [.] | | [.] | | h= hammer-on [.] | | [.]=Pause in string pickings | | [.] | |________________[.]__________________________| *!STANDARD TUNING!* Chords: Am C Cmaj9 Em F G e]---0----0----0----0----1----3---| B]---1----1----1----0----1----0---| G]---2----0----0----0----2----0---| D]---2----2----0----2----3----0---| A]---0----3----2----2----3----2---| E]------------------0----1----3---| INTRO: C Em C Em e]---------------------0------------------------0------------| B]------------------0----0--------------------0---0----------| G]----0----0----0-----0---0------0----0---0----0---0---------| D]------0h2--0h2-------------------0h2-0h2-------------------| A]--3--------------2--------0-3--------------2-------0-------| E]-----------------------------------------------------------| *intro into song does not have lyrics CHORUS: C Em C Em e]-------0----------0-----------0---------0------|\ B]---1----0-----0----0------1----0-----0---0-----| \ G]-----0---0------0---0-------0---0------0--0----| |x2 D]-----------------------------------------------| | A]--3--------0-2---------0-3--------0-2--------0-| / E]-----------------------------------------------|/ C Em Dear Diary, today was a good day C Em Papa and I picked wild flowers C Em Mama joined and we lay in the sunshine C Em Then we sang and danced for hours VERSE: F G C Cmaj9 Am F G e]-------1----------3---.-----------------0---.-----1--------(3~)--| B]---1----1-----3----3--.--1-1---1-1---1---1--.--1---1----3--------| G]-----2---2------0---0-.---0-----0-----2---2-.----2--2-----0------| D]----------------------.---------------------.--------------------| A]--3-------------------.-3------2-----0------.-3------------------| E]------------3---------.---------------------.----------3---------| F G I know tomorrow will be even better C Cmaj9 Am So the good Lord I thank F G I'll write more later.
