I've noticed that the chords on the other version of this song on this
site is, I'm sorry to say, very wrong. I don't wanna act like mr smart
guy, but here I'm giving you the right chords and the tab on the verses.
The verses:
E ---------------- |
B ---------------- |
G -(0-0)-(0-0)--0- |
D --5-5---5-5---4- |
A --5-5---5-5---5- |
E 00----00----00-- |
You can successfully play the 0's on the G-string - especially on the
last chord. It gives more depth to the chords and a nice dissonance to
the last one.
Play this tab over and over through the verses.
Verse 1:
Somebody told me... I know where to go...
Somebody showed me... I was last to know...
Sell me down the river...
Sell me down the river...
Sell me down the river...
Sell me down the river...
