"It's because I love you"
by Master's Apprentices
This is a pretty good outline of the different parts to this old song.
Any corrections and especially the rest of the lyrics are welcome.
These tabs a for a six string, but playing them on a twelve string would make ita hell of a lot easier.
There are 3 main riffs and an easy set of chorus chords:
riff 1 riff 2
|--------------|------------------------|
|--10-9--7--5--|------------------------|
|--------------|------------------------|
|--7--6--4--2--|---5--4--5--7--5--4--5--|
|--------------|------------------------|
|--------------|------------------------|
Main riff/verse riff: (takes a while to get used to the fingering)
A (x02220@1) B (x2444x@1) C# (x43121@1) E (022100@1) C# (x43121@1) B (x2444x@1) A (x02220@1) |--------------------------12----------------------------|
|--10-10-12-12-14-14-14-14----14-14-12-12-10-10-10-10----|
|--------------------------9-----------------------------|
|--7--7--9--9--11-11-11-11----11-11-9--9--7--7--7--7-----|
