Fast car - Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman Hi, this is a little variation on the song fast car. It is played twice on her cd. This is the main theme. From: ihateuw@u.washington.edu (David Wong) Fast Car: e-----------0----0----------|5------4----4-------- Repeat this over, and B--T------------------------|---------------------over, until the bridge "I re- G--A--6-7-6-----------------|---------------------member we were driving..." D--B--7-----7----------7----|7------7--------7----where the following chords A---------------------------|---------------------come in: E---------------------------|--------------------- e-----------0----0----------|5--7--5--4--5--4----- B--T------------------------|--------------------- G--A--6-7-6-----------------|--------------------- D--B--7-----7----------7----|--------------------- A---------------------------|--------------------- E---------------------------|--------------------- Cheers!

D--B--7-----7----------7----|7------7--------7----where the following chords A---------------------------|---------------------come in: E---------------------------|--------------------- D, for one measure, A for one measure, F#m(244222) for a measure, Esus (022200) for a measure, then a measure in which a D and F#m are given equal time, followed by a measure of E. Repeat the last two measures, then play one with a D and E. Back to the repeating riff. This is what I've got for Fast Car by Tracy Chapman: I'm not going to post the words, b/c I don't know them. But this is a decnt compromise on the continual riff throughout the song, considering I can't play bass and acoustic guitars at the same time. Oh, and yes, I did this by listening to the CD. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 repeat... e---|-------0---0----|-5-----4---4----| B-T-|-2-3-2----------|----------------| G-A-|-2-----------2--|-----2-------2--| D-B-|-0--------------|----------------| A---|-------0--------|----------------| E---|----------------|-2-----0--------| I apologize if my notation is unconventional, but this is my first TAB post attempt. It's a little tricky to play this version, but I can manage it by keeping my index finger on the G, and by cheating with my thumb for the E bass notes. The bridge/chorus(?) chords are posted elsewhere. Ben Strackany b-strackany@nwu.edu
