Tune your strings down a half step to match the CD.
PLEASE RATE THIS ITS AN AWESOME SONG
This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the fingerstyle, because
the whole thing is based on two chord fingerings just moved around the
fingerboard. Here they are: G:320033 Bb:113331
Intro:
|--3-------6-------3-------6-------3-------6-------1----------------
|-------------------------------------------------------------1-----
|------------------------------------------------------0--------0---
|------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--------------------
|----2-------5-------2-------5-------2-------5----------------------
|--3-------6-------3-------6-------3-------6-------1-------1--------
Play the above 3 times and then once more with the ending like this:
|-------------1------
|--1-----------------
|------0--------0----
|--------------------
|--------------------
|--1-------1---------
The verse is just like the intro except little variations in the fingerstyle
are thrown in:
|--3-------6-------3------------- -3---------------1-----------------
|--------------------------6----- ---------6------------------1------
|-------------------------------- or ---------------------0--------0----
|------0-------0-------0-------0- -----0-------0---------------------
|----2-------5-------2-------5--- ---2-------5-----------------------
|--3-------6-------3-------6----- -3-------6-------1-------1---------
Also, there is some variation in the ending of the main phrase (like the
intro). Listen to the CD if you want to get all these little quirks exactly.
End the verse with:
|--4---------------|
|------------4-----|
|------0-----------|
|------------------|
|----------3-------|
|--4---------------|
Chorus:
|--3-------3-3-------------------------------------------------------------
|--------3----------------3-------3-------------------------3--------------
|----0--------------------3-------3-------------------------3--------------
|----------------3-3------3-------3---------------3-------3-----3----------
