Tabbed by: RainbowBassist Feel free to make any comment/suggestions- as this song is originally for piano, I tried my best to make it sort of interchangeable with the guitar without working too much harder than needed. Tuning: Standard, with Capo on 1st fret PLAY EVERYTHING IN RESPECT TO THE CAPO ON THE 1ST FRET G7 35x46x Amsus4 x02240 Also, use G barred on the 3rd fret Intro: Strum these chords once (this song sounds even better when fingerpicked) F5 | G7 | A5 | A5 F5 | G5 | A5 | A5 Arpeggiating the first four notes of the chords will make it sound like the piano: e.g. Play twice under violin scale: e | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | B | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | G | -------2-------2-------2------2- | -------0------0------0------0-----o- | D | -----3-------3-------3------3--- | -----3------3------3------3-------o- | A | ---3-------3-------3------3----- | ---3------3------3------3----------- | E | -1-------1-------1------1------- | -1------1------1------1------------- | F5 D5 A5 Magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring?
