Song: Who knows where the time goes? Artist: Fairport Convention Composer: Sandy Denny Album: Unhalfbricking Tabbed by DJ 30th Nov 2012 FINE TUNING: The backing track is slightly sharp, to match it more closely use a chromatic tuner and tune all strings up by approx. +10 cents above standard pitch. IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website displays, they are generated automatically from a generic database and often don't show the best options for a particular chord progression. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. E = 022100 G#m = 466444 Esus4 = 022200 F#m11/E = 044200 Am6 = x07570 Bsus4 = x24400 Emaj7 = 066400 A = x07650 Asus2 = x02200 Aadd9 = 577600 A6 = x07670 F#m7 = 242222 F#m = 244222 TABLATURE OF CHORUS BASS RUNS AT BOTTOM OF PAGE Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== [Intro]
