Butch Walker – Joan (Guitar Tab)

Auto-scroll

Song: Joan Artist: Butch Walker Album: Letters (2004) This is adapted from, to my knowledge, the correct way to play it. I'm sure the piano I came up with (I did it by ear) is wrong though. But this sounds close to the original.

ORDER: INTRO/BREAK x2 VERSE 1/2 INTRO/BREAK x2 VERSE 1/2 CHORUS INTRO/BREAK x2 VERSE 2 CHORUS x2 INTRO/BREAK x4 Since some consider verses and choruses different parts of the songs than others, here’s interpretation of the parts: VERSE 1/2 = "Joan moved away..." and "Before I moved in..." CHORUS = "After all this time..." This should have you in the ball park. It isn't perfect, but it gives you a general idea what to do. Some parts are up to the guitarist, honestly. email me at [email protected] if you have suggestions. Please, no strum pattern though; I suck at describing strum patterns. Sorry. This is a relatively easy song to up the strum pattern on. God bless. "There's alot to learn about Joan..."
