Chords

Album: Hotel New York Tabbed by: Evert Lancel On CD the song is played in a lower tuning (Eb). I here put it in standard tuning. If you want to play along with the song, than you need to either tune your guitar half a note lower, or make a copy of the song in higher pitch, using some free sound editing software (Audacity). That's a lot easier than retuning all the time. Chords in Standard Tuning: D add9 sus4 x54030 (for short Dadd9..) Am9 x05500 Dsus2 xx0230
Asus2           x02200
Em7             022030 (I like 02x030, because the basses come out stronger)
Bbm7 x24232 G 355433 Csus2 x35533 The strumming rhythm is very important: The first short strums should be on the bass tones only and the short strums for the rest of the measure should emphasis the higher tones (while playing the base strings as well. Although it varies all the time (just listen well), in a 16th measure it is basically like this (V = strumming downwards, A = strumming upwards):
|V-V-VAVA--VAVA--|

      I close my eyes

      Em7
And imagine you're here

                   Dsus2
Did it all seem so hopeless

          Asus2
Given the chance

Em7
I would ask
Forgive me
              Dsus2    Asus2    Em7        
I didn't do a thing to make you stay

I didn't say a word to make you stay

                Bsus4 
If I would have known

             Asus2            Em7
Could I have tried to make it easier

                  Bm7            A
