'B' Side of 12" Single for 'Bring on the dancing horses'
Tabbed by DJ 12th Mar 2015
A re-recorded version appears on their eponymous
'Echo & The Bunnymen' album with additional
keyboards by Ray Manzarek of The Doors.
Hear the original 12" version at this link:
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the bottom of the tab.
D = xx0232 Asus4 = x02230
F = 133211 A7 = x02020
G = 355433 Dm7/A = x00211 or x00565
A = x02220 G/A = x00433 or x00787
Apart from the Choruses, you could play the Intro
progression all the way through but using the Dm7/A
and G/A gives a feel of what the Keyboards/Strings
are doing and adds some variety.
