IT'S ALL OVER NOW

written by Bobby Womack 
from an early ROLLING STONES  ' album :  12 x 5 


Sounds peculiar to play because so old : it's rather a combination of country 
rock and the Jagger/Richards'own inventiveness ( and probably Brian Jones' 
too).  It sounds as if it were played with two standard tuned guitars but 
it is far easier to play with one standard tuned guitar and the other tuned 
in open G like this from low to high : D G D G B D. 
What I call the first guitar is the standard tuned one .  The second is
the open G tuned one ( or standard if you choose). With the second
you tick most of the time  five times like a metronome with your left 
forefinger like shown in the tab : in fact you mute the string as soon 
as you've picked it by stopping it above the A on the G string.
The bass played in a very old style is also tabbed.
You can hear an audio MP3 demo at the URL above.

Legend :  

h   : hammer-on              

    2

    0  means play the open string then mute immediately above the second fret.
