Title: Everything I Do (I Do It For You) (acoustic) Artist: Bryan Adams Albums: Waking Up the Neighbours (1991), So Far So Good (1993), MTV Unplugged (1997), The Best of Me (1999) Tuning: Standard Tuning, Capo on First Fret Tabber: coolguy824 (coolguy824@excite.com) Chords to Know: (unless otherwise noted, all chords are to be played at the 1st fret) C [X32010] G [320003] F [133211] Dm [000231] Bb [113331] Eb [113331] at 6th fret Fm [133111] This song can be played many ways, and with many different arrangements. The album version is played with two guitars (rhythm and lead), one bass, drums, and piano. However, I find that the arrangement of two guitars (one acoustic for rhythm and one electric for picking), with percussion (you can't really call it drums, since the percussion in this version usually only consists of the drummer, Mickey Curry, keeping the beat with a marraca). The version being tabbed here (the latter version) is very easy to play, and sounds great. It is in a different key, so it may sound a little bit different than normal. I hope you enjoy it.
