Artist: The Stranglers
Song: Golden brown
Tabbed by: DJ
31th May 2014
Time signature: The original is probably a bar of 6/8 and a bar of 7/8,
I find it much simpler to think of the count as 3 bars of 3/4,
with a bar of 4/4 on the end...
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4
| / / / | / / / | / / / | / / / / |
The above is the sequence until it changes to alternating from Dm to C
for the verses, which are 3 beats to the bar for each chord.
Then back again to the intro sequences as above.
KEY:
Judging by performances on Youtube, The Stranglers play it live in Bbm.
Apart from a version with Hugh Cornwell and Mariachi Mexteca,
where he sings it a semi-tone lower in Am, with a few amended chords.
TUNING:
The original single recording is quite sharp of concert pitch,
either the master tapes were sped up at mixing stage,
or the harpsicord was not tuned to concert pitch.
CAPO: 1st fret (Sounds in the key of Bbm)
Played fingerstyle
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Am = x02210 C/D = xx0x10 F = xx3x11 Dm = xx0231
Em = 022000 C = x3xx10 F/E = xx2x11
F = 133211 C/B = x2xx10 F/D = xx0x11
C/E = xx2x10 G = 320033 F/C = x3xx11
