------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PENGUIN - Christina Perri ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: JUSTIN BANG Email: jlbang24@gmail.com this is how I play christina perri's wonderful song 'penguin' and i think this is the most accurate/easiest way to play it.. this is only my second tab so bear with me! :) CHECK OUT OUR COVER OF THIS SONG!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDD2r7hZyck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDD2r7hZyck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDD2r7hZyck USE THIS TUNING: da F#D AD THEN PUT CAPO ON 2ND FRET! its basically a really cool dropped D but since she plays it in E, use capo 2! ****in our cover, we played it in D# so that would be capo 1 but if you want to play in original key (E), PLAY CAPO2!!! this song is completely finger-picked except for the bridge but even for that i just use my fingers to strum :P INTRO/INTERLUDES [you will be playing this in the beginning and in between verse and the end] d|---12------12-----11-----11------7----7------9----9---------------------| a|-----12-------------12------0-----0----0------0-----0-------------------|
