Artist: Gretchen Peters
Song: When you are old
Tabbed by: DJ
22nd Jan 2014

From the album 'The secret of life'

Tuning: Standard

The chords are best played in a fingerpicking style

D5 (xx023x@1)     =  xx0235    A (x02220@1)   =  x02220    F#m (244222@1)  = 244222
Dsus2/F# =  200230    A4    =  x02230    Bm     = x24432 or xxxx432
Gadd2    =  3x0203    D     =  xx0232    Bmmaj7 = x24332 or xxxx332
G (320003@1)      =  320003    D/C (x30232@1) =  x30232    Bm7/A (x00202@1)= x04232 or xxxx232
Em7      =  022030    G/B (143121@7) =  x20033    E7/G#  = 4x2400 or xxxx132
A7 (x02020@1)     =  x02020    Gm/Bb =  x10033    D4 (xx0233@1)   = xx0233
A7sus4   =  x02030    Fm/C# =  x44222
D/F#     =  200232

N.B. The Bm progression in the middle 8 has a descending bass note,
and to be accurate should have a Bb bass on the Bm(maj7)chord,
I find the simplest way is to play the chord progression on the
top 3 strings only.
