Much trickier than first appears, but once you get the picking pattern it all falls in to place. As with all of Ben's songs it's fun to play and is in an awkward tuning. Because of the strange capo positioning all notes are NOT relative to the capo positioning, but to nut, i.e. 0th fret. Hope that makes sense and enjoy! P.s. All thanks to Tom Wheeler who sent me off with the basics to refine! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diamonds - Ben Howard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Callum Arnold Email: Tuning:CGCGGc and capo covering the bottom five strings on the 7th fret.
