Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paul & Linda McCartney From: "Ram" (1971) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard I'm not 100% sure, but from what I hear on the recording, the acoustics might be tuned down two steps to D-G-C-F-A-d, playing these chords: | C | Em | Am | % | C | E7 | Am | % | (verse) | A7 | % | D9 | % | A7 | % | D9 | % | (chorus) The shapes are easy and I think, they can actually be heard. Anyway, I put forward here a version in regular tuning for everybody who does not want to take the trouble of tuning down all the strings. If you do, you'd have to transpose this tab up 2 steps to get the chords that are played on the original. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Interlude] The instrumental interlude is not easy to pin down. Here is what I came up with. With the D-G-C-F-A-d tuning, the tab below has to move up 2 frets. Still I'm not completely sure about it. Suggestions and comments are highly welcome. Thank you!
