SONG: TIMES LIKE THESE (ACOUSTIC VERSION) ARTIST: STEVE EARLE TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] NOTE: When playing this song I would suggest you use a "plucking" style of playing at times. A good example is in the Intro. I tried to show one way of playing that. It is hard to show this sometimes in a chord tab but I think I gave a good example how to do this. There is a good use of hammer-one and sus chords played throughout. I can not indicate where they are all played but do not be afraid to use them. I am mainly just going to put the basic chords played throughout In this song. I believe that you can play this very well if you do as I stated previously. THIS TAB IS ONLY FOR THE ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THE SONG. PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN PLAYING AND RATING THIS TAB. LINK: https://youtu.be/YLITH6ZsDdw TIMES LIKE THESE (ACOUSTIC VERSION) STEVE EARLE
