Tabbed by: Phil Crossland Tuning: Standard Capo: 3rd Fret Notes: This tab is based off YouTube user's jc1762's version of Life is Like a Boat. It is not 100% accurate but it is the closest I can get to it. Also, I couldn't entirely work out his MINI SOLO after the first chorus so I have improvised and created a more simpler but similar version. The BRIDGE here has 2 versions - you could either continue the melody from the chrous or, what I like to do, is play the individual notes from the chords. Speaking of chords, if you don't like finger-plicking, I'll have the basic chord structure for the song at the bottom - it's a bit straight forward however. I might have got some of the names of the chords wrong but the finger positions should be correct. Heck, if you want, you can mix the finger-plicking with some chords, up to you :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- (VERSE 1) Nobody | I never knows who I really am |
