Artist: Karma (Henry Ate) Song: Once Tabbed by: neuroxik E-mail: neuroxik [-at] gmail [dot-] com Tuning: Standard, Capo IV Chords named relative to Capo Time Signature: 6/4 (except measure 4 = 9/8, and the before last meas. = 7/4) Tempo: 107 bpm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: Although there are 4 main riffs that constitute the entire song, there are some subtle differences here and there in the bassline (the notes plucked with your thumb). For example, the Chorus the 2nd time around doesn't have the same bassline (although following the same chord structure), so I've put notes along the way above the Chord names, such as "Riff B2", meaning "similar to Riff B" but with some changes. I find it makes it easier to learn a tab than just writing it all out and you having to pay constant attention as to where the changes occur. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTRO Acous.
