Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Bryan Ferry From: "Avalon" (1982) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Two versions: - one in F (the obvious choice for me) - but then A-shapes make for a playable version, too (without any barree chords, which might be an argument for beginners ...). These chords, however, need a capo on the 9th fret in order to sound in the original key (does not make much sense, I think). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Version 1] capo: 1st fret (for original key) play: F key: F# For chords in original key transpose +1
