Song: One Life
Artist: James Bay
Key (original): E major
I have tabbed this song using the 'Live from Abbey Tavern' video above as a source. The chords listed below
are all relative to the Capo placed on the 4th fret when using standard E tuning (EADGBE). Place the Capo
on the 6th fret when using classic James Bay tuning - i.e., standard D tuning (DGCFAD). FYI, this is the
same tuning that James Bay uses in the video above and in some of his previous songs (e.g., Let It Go).
James Bay adds a bunch of hammer-ons and pull-offs during the song. Best thing to do is to listen closely
and try to figure it out yourself. Imitation is, after all, the best form of flattery!!
