Written by: David Bowie
From: "Blackstar" (2015)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
There are some tough decisions to make for this song. Multi-layered instruments create sounds that are difficult to reproduce on a single guitar. For this tab I decided to open the chords and include an open G-string throughout. If that is too much for your taste, play regular chords. I put up two versions here, one without a capo, the second one with capo on the first fret (less barree). So, here’s my reading of this beautiful tune, enjoy!
