Chords

Song: Jive talkin' Artist: The Beegees Composers: Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb Album: Saturday night fever Tabbed by DJ 8th Oct 2021 Using a chromatic tuner may make it easier to get the pitches more accurate 1st string tune down to D 2nd string tune down to A 3rd string tune down to F# 4th string as in standard 5th string as in standard 6th string tune down to D All barre chords, except for the Am, which is a partial barre chord at the 2nd fret with ring and little fingers on the 2nd and 3rd strings. Leave the 5th string open and mute the 6th string with your thumb. NOTE: The (F/C) is optional and suggested by the keyboards, the guitar just stays on a C chord. IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website displays, they are generated automatically from a generic database which doesn't currently include this tuning, so it will only display standard chords. For authenticity I would suggest using the voicings shown in the text column numbers below.

 C    = 10-10-10-10-10-10
(F/C) = x-3-3-3-3-3
 Bb   = 8-8-8-8-8-8
 G    = 5-5-5-5-5-5
 F    = 3-3-3-3-3-3
 E    = 2-2-2-2-2-2
 Am   = x-0-2-3-3-2 or x-0-7-6-7-7
 N.C. = No chords
