Taking you home (Taking you home)

Taking you home (fade)


The tuning on this album version is about 3 cent above 
standard concert tuning.
In order to play this song with the recording, it will
be necessary to sharpen the tuning on all 6 strings slightly.

I have included to fingerings for the G major chord. The second
one, a barre chord, is intended to be used with the Gsus that
precedes it.

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
