Song for Sophie
capo 4 or 3

This is beautiful song by Aura Dione. I think the usual version is 
played by to guitars, so that the fingerpicking and the chords 
overlap eachother. But i tried to make another version with only 
one guitar, and i think i work very well. The capo can be on 3 or 4, 
both sounds good. In the first part of the verses there is some 
pretty simple fingerpicking. I will put the tab for it in the bottom, 
to make it more uncluttered. The fingerpicking is played over again 4 
times in every verse.

Fingerpicking (intro)

Fingerpicking
This is a song for a girl called Sophie
Fingerpicking
used to write her name on my arm.
Fingerpicking                 
Time has made us strangers
Fingerpicking
and I don't know her anymore.
      C (x32010@1)               D (xx0232@1)                   
But I really hope she's made it
     C (x32010@1)              Dthat (xx0232@1)someone took her home.
        C (x32010@1)             DShe (xx0232@1)was lost but wasn't missing
          C (x32010@1)            Dshe (xx0232@1)would always walk alone.

G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)          Cadd9 (x32030@1)  D (xx0232@1) 
She was always like a feather, in the air
                        G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)      Cadd9 (x32030@1) 
I never knew if she was flying or falling.
        D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)        Cadd9 (x32030@1)  Dshe (xx0232@1)was always like a feather, in my life.
G (320003@1)          DI (xx0232@1)hope she flies, 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)      DI (xx0232@1)hope she flies,
G (320003@1)          DI (xx0232@1)hope she flies,
Cadd9 (x32030@1)     DI (xx0232@1)hope she flies.

Fingerpicking
Because of her, I looks things that last:
Fingerpicking
I have a chain, where's your arm?
Fingerpicking      
A promise can be broken,
Fingerpicking
I won't hunt you anymore  no, no, no 
      C (x32010@1)               DBut (xx0232@1)I really hope she's made it
