--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: George Harrison From: "All Things Must Pass" (1970) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Open-E / Standard / Drop D Here is my reading of this beautiful song for acoustic guitar. The main guitar is probably in Open-E Tuning. But there are a lot of acoustics on Harrison's studio recording and they may play different voicings with or without capo. Playing alone, I like using the shapes and settings below. Version 1: Open-E Tuning / Standard tuning, no capo Version 2: drop-D, capo 2nd fret to match the tuning of the original --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- tuning: Open-E / standard capo: - key: E --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CODA LICK
