Standard Open D Tuning Best For Acoustic Guitar There are two options for tuning: NUMBER ONE - OPEN D (With a capo on 1) Some people might prefer this as open D is a more common tuning and could be used on a set with other songs! It also means only tuning strings down, which reduces the chance of them breaking on etc..! All following notation is relative to the capo! D (D?wn) A (D?wn) F# (D?wn) D A D (D?wn) NUMBER TWO - OPEN Eb This is an alternative if you dont have a capo and are willing to risk your strings, but is esentially the same! Eb (D?wn) Bb (D?wn) G Eb (Up) Bb (Up) Eb (D?wn) Recommended Chords: Eb Eb9 Eb4 Ab9 Ab49 Ab99 Eb | -----0------------0-----------0----------0---------0-----------0------- | Bb | -----0------------0-----------0----------0---------0-----------0------- | G | ----12-----------10----------13----------5---------7-----------3------- | Eb | -----0------------0-----------0----------5---------5-----------5------- | Bb | -----0------------0-----------0----------5---------5-----------5------- | Eb | -----0------------0-----------0----------5---------5-----------5------- | Bb Bb9 Fm7add11 Cm7 Eb | -----0------------0-----------0----------0--------- | Bb | -----0------------0-----------0----------0--------- | G | -----7------------5-----------1----------8--------- | Eb | -----7------------7-----------2----------(b9)-------- | Bb | -----7------------7-----------2----------(b9)-------- | Eb | -----7------------7-----------2----------(b9)-------- | INTRO Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb VERSE 1 Eb Eb9 Eb4 Eb The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in Ab9 Ab49 Ab9 Ab99 Eb Eb9 Eb4 Eb We smile for the casual closure capturing Ab9 Ab49 Ab9 Ab99 Fm7add11 There goes the downpour Cm7 Here goes my fare thee well CHORUS Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb There's really no way to reach me (x3) Ab9 Fm7add11 Bb9 'Cause I'm al - ready gone VERSE 2 Eb Eb9 Eb4 Eb Only so many words that we can say Ab9 Ab49 Ab9 Ab99 Eb Eb9 Eb4 Eb Spoken upon long-distance melody Ab9 Ab49 Ab9 Ab99 Fm7add11 This is my hello Cm7 This is my goodness CHORUS Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb There's really no way to reach me (x3) Ab9 Fm7add11 Bb9 'Cause I'm al - ready gone MIDDLE 8 Fmadd11 Ab9 Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again Cm7 Bb Straighten this whole thing out Fmadd11 Ab9 Cm7 Bb9 Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an ene - my Fm7add11 This is the distance Cm7 And this is my game face CHORUS Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb There's really no way to reach me (x2) Ab9 Bb Cm7 Bb Is there really no way to reach me?
