----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ballad of Serenity - Sonny Rhodes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: BluesLP1990 Email:jjudson@g.clemson.edu Tuning: standard, CAPO 3rd FRET The main purpose of this tab is to detail the fiddle, banjo, and guitar fills throughout song. I'll provide a basic structure for the verses, but my focus is on the breaks, since no one else has tabbed them. Keep flying, Browncoats! Intro/verse - really helps to pick the strings hard and get a real steely sound. the sounds great with a little extra bend before the pulloff g |--------------Take..love--Take..land--take..where.cantstnd-0h3p0h3p0h3| D |----------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|-----------------------2-----------2-----------2---------0------------| F |-------------------2-----------2-----------2-------------2------------| C |-----0-3p0-----0-----------------------------------------2------------| G |-0h3-------3---------------3-----------2-----------/-5---0------------| g |-dont-care-----still free---youcanttake--sky---meee--------------| D |-1---------------------------------------------------------/5-3\1| A#|---------0-------------0-------------0---------------------------| F |-----0-------------0-------------0------------/5~~-4-2-4-5-------| C |-3--------------------------------------------(2)----------------| G |---------------3-------------2------------/5--(0)----------------| g |-takemeout----totheblack----tellemaint--comn-back-----/5-3p0-----| D |-------------------------------------------------------------3p0-| A#|-2~~-----2-------------2-------------2---------0-----------------| F |-----2-------------2-------------2-------------2-----------------| C |-0---------------------------------------------2-----------------| G |---------------3-------------2------------/5---0-----------------| g |-burntheland--boilthesea----youcanttake--sky--meee---------------| D |-1~~~----------------------------------------------------------0-| A#|---------0-------------0-------------0---------0---------0---2---| F |-----0-------------0-------------0-------------2-------4---------| C |-3---------------------------------------------2-----instrumental| G |---------------3-------------2------------/5---0-----begins------| instrumental g |---0~~~0-----------------0-3-0-----------------------------------| D |-1-1-----1-3-1-1-3~~-0-3-------3-0-----------3-----5-----7~~-8-7-| A#|-----------------------------------2-0---------------------------| F |---------------------------------------2--/4---4/5---5/7---------| C |-----------------------------------------------------------------| G |---------------------^-^-^b-a-n-j-o^-^-^-------------------------| g |-there no place i can be-----since i found serenity--------------| D |-5~~~~-----------------------------------------------------------| A#|---------2-------------2-------------2---------------------------| F |-----2-------------2-------------2-------------5~~-4-2-4-5~~~~---| C |-0--------------------------------------------(2)----------------| G |---------------3-------------2------------/5--(0)----------------| g |-but you can't take sky from me---------0-3p0--------------------| D |-1~~~~---------8~~-------------------/3-------3p0-----5~~~~~~~---| A#|---------0-------------0--------------------------2--------------| F |-----0-------------0---------------------------------------------| C |-3--------------------------------------------(2)----------------| G |-----------------------------2-----------(/5)-(0)----------------| Please, if you've taken the time to read it, take the time to rate it.
