Chords

Tabbed by: Alex Ryl E-mail: [email protected] **UPDATE** I've added the hammer-on's heard in the recorded version. She doesn't play them live, but thought I'd throw them in anyway. ****************************************************************************************************** So I've tabbed it out how I play it based on her live version. I've put the chord shape to use above the tab so it should make it easier. After what I call the the chorus, I just strum Am (or improvise with finger-picking, and that's basically the whole song. For the F it's the Barre chord shape.Also, she doesn't do the hammer-on's in her live version, hence why I haven't included them. The pre-chorus is a finger-picking pattern that I have represented on the tab. Alternatively you can just strum the chords and it sounds really good too. Enjoy.
