Josh Groban – Pierre And Natasha (Guitar Tab)

Chords

Very good song for learning and easing into finger-picking! The basic structure is a D-chord, GBeB, then Bm, GBeB again. Then during each verse there is a G and F# chord which are played with several variations which I can't remember on my own- the reason I'm making this tab. Therefore, I will mostly be writing down the variations. Listen along to see where they fit into the standard structure. The timing on the tabs is pretty loose, sorry (they don't always match exactly to the words, but generally to whichever word the riff starts on). Should be easy to figure out while playing/listening. The tempo is almost always the same, same spacing between all notes. [Intro]
