Chords
The chords move pretty fast and they're pretty accurate but I'm going to thrown in this little tab as a
guide line for how to play certain chord progressions.
I'm playing these chords as follows:
G: [3 x x 0 3 x]
G7: [3 x x 0 3 1]
G6: [3 x x 0 3 0]
G/B: [x 2 x 0 3 x]
Cadd9: [x 3 2 0 3 x]
D/F#: [2 x 0 2 3 x]
D/A: [x 0 0 2 3 x]
F: [1 3 3 2 1 1]
Bb: [x 1 3 3 3 1]
G G7 G7 G6 G/B Caa9 G/B D/F# G e|----------1--|------1---0---|----------------------------------| B|-----3----3--|------3---3---|----3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-----------| G|-----0-------|--------------|----0--0-0--0-0--2-2--0-----------| D|-------------|--------------|----------------------------------| A|-------------|--------------|---2--3----2----------------------| E|---3----3----|----3---3-----|----------------2----3------------|
This tab is just a general outline of what she plays. Add as sounds or feels natural to you. The chorus has
the same basic cadence just with slightly different chords.
