Joanna Newsom – Peach Plum Pear (Guitar Tab)

A tabbed out version of Peach Plum Pear [email protected] The first version is almost exactly what she’s playing except you lose an octave on bass note on D7sus2-4. To play exactly what Joanna is playing you’ll need to tune your guitar to DGDGBE (that version is at the bottom after the chords). I thought more people would find a standard tuning version useful, so that’s up first. I tried my best with the chord names.

Here’s how I play this tab as chords when I’m feeling lazy. I play the low Fadd9 note with my thumb. Am7=X00213 Fadd9=1X3213 D7sus2=XX0210 D7sus4=XX0213 Gsus4=320013 G=320003 Am7 Fadd9 We speak in the store. I’m a sensitive bore. D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G You seem markedly more. And I'm oozing surprise. Am7 Fadd9 But it's late in the day. And you're well on your way. D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G What was golden went gray. And I'm suddenly shy. Am7 Fadd9 And the gatherin' floozies afford to be choosy. D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G And all sneezing darkly in the dimming divide. Am7 Fadd9 And I have read the right books to interpret your looks. D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G You were knocking me down with the palm of your eye. Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G oh, nananana nanananana na na na na Am7 Fadd9 This was unlike the story it was written to be. D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G I was riding its back when it used to ride me. Am7 Fadd9 And we were galloping manic to the mouth of the source. D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G We were swallowing panic from the face of its force. Am7 D7sus2-4 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G And I am blue I am Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G blue and unwell made me bolt like a horse Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G oh, nananana nanananana na na na na Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G Now it's done. Watch it go. You've Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G changed some. Water runs from the snow. Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G Am I so dear? Do I run rare? And you've Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G changed some Peach plum pear Peach plum Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G ******************************************************** The only way I can think to play this on guitar is to your open strings to DGDGBE (tune E and A down a step) Then, with a capo on 4, you play this
