OK.
Now I knooooooow what youre gonna say. "this doesnt sound like the chords regina plays
And youre right. it doesnt. But it works with the melody just as well.
I just really wanted to put this song up, cos i love it so.
And its my first tab, so be nice!
And im self taught, so i guess its kinda for novices...feel free to embellish all you
proper guitarry people out there :)
Capo can be put anywhere, but I personally think either on 3, or just not all sounds nicest...
For this song, i play G as: 320030
Intro:
G G Caad9 Cadd9 G G Cadd9 Cadd9
G Cadd9 Come on Bartender G Cadd9 Wont you be more tender G Cadd9 Give me two shots of whiskey G Cadd9 And a beer chaser D Em Love will be the death of me
Cadd9 (let it ring...)
Love is so fickle
Cadd9 (finger pick)
Its starts with a flood and ends
With a tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-trickle
Intro:
C Cadd9 Come on bartender G Cadd9 Just a little more tender G Cadd9 I ate all your peanuts G Cadd9 Return me to sender D Em I've been too candid Cadd9 Now I'm barely standing Cadd9 Just call me a taxi
And prepare me for landing
G D Em Ooh, you have got to kick me back out D Cadd9 Into the cold and nasty weather G D And maybe if i sober up Em D Cadd9 I will stop pretending that love is forever D Cadd9 Love is forever G Cadd9 Come on bartender(x3)
(x2)
D Em Cadd9 Love will be the death of me D Em Cadd9 Love will be the death of me D Em Cadd9 Love will be the death of me Cadd9 Love is so fickle
Cause it starts with a flood
G
And it ends with a tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr trickleG (one quick strum only!)
Trickle
G Trickle G Trickle G Trickle G Trickle G Cadd9 G Come on bartender G Cadd9 G Come on bartender G Cadd9 G Come on bartender
G Cadd9 G
There we go chums =] i find it nice, when playing the first part of the verse, play
like this: 320030, and then when you get to "love is so fickle..." play it:: 320033.
just how I do it. :)
And also, i like to instead of all out strumming, pluck the bass E and then strum the
3. So like pluck, strum, pluck strum etc...
