------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Matthew Belson E-mail: [email protected] This is how I play the song on an acoustic guitar. Fun fact: if you don't own a sitar, slide something that fits snugly underneath your strings near the bridge, like a wooden spoon, you can make your guitar sound more like one for this song. Anyway, it’s all an octave lower than the recording but should suffice. Tuning: Open F#add11 (C# F# C# F# A# B) for the studio version. If you’re willing to sing a little higher so you don’t have to spend as much time tuning, do (D G D G B C), which is just open G with the high E tuned down to C. Main Sitar Riff
