Tuning: Standard - Capo 5
From: Poison & Wine EP
Okie dokie, the whole song is fairly simple. Everything with the guitar repeats so I
absolutely will not do this tab note for note the whole song. I have labeled each part so
hopefully it makes sense. Standard tuning Capo 5, the rhythms are a bit odd but not too
bad. The only difficulty you should have is if you try and sing along with it. Send me an
email if you have questions. I will gladly make a youtube video upon request. Enjoy, everyone!
Intro (and verse) REMEMBER: CAPO 5!!!
e|----2-2---2---2---2-2---2---2---2-2---2---2---0-0---0---0------------------| B|----5-5---5---5---2-2---2---2---1-1---1---1---0-0---0---0------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--0-----0---0---0-----0---0---0-----0---0---0-----0---0--------------------| "Meet me in the garden..." "I've got a secret......."
Chorus: Starts with Am, and walks up to C, then an odd Em formation I am not
familiar with...
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----1-1---1---1---1-1---1---1----------------------------------------------| G|----2-2---2---0---0-0---0---0----------------------------------------------| D|----2-2---2----------------------------------------------------------------| A|--0-----0---2---3-----3---3------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| "Oooooo..."
Now the "odd Em formation" part. ^These two parts are hard to fit^
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----2---0----0---0---2---0---0---0-----------------------------------------| D|----0---0----4---0---0---0---4---0-----------------------------------------| A|-------------------2---2---2---2-------------------------------------------| E|--0---0----0---0-----------------------------------------------------------| "Whatever you do..."
Play the Am to C a second time after that, then this...
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----2---0---0---0---2---0---0---0------------------------------------------| D|----0---0---4---0---0---0---4---0------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--3---3---3---3---2---2---2---2--------------------------------------------| "Keep it with you..."
Chorus #2 I guess? Oh well...
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----0-0---0---0------------------------------------------------------------| G|----0-0---0---0------------------0-0---0---0-------------------------------| D|--4-----4---4--------------------4-4---4---4-------------------------------| A|---------------------------------2-2---2---2-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------0-----0---0---------------------------------| "You and I......" "......pressing flowers"
Then this x2
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----0-0----0---0--------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----0-0----0---0--------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---3------3---3------------------------------------------------------------E|--| "They're ours..."
And finally this x2 ( A regular Em fits as well )
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----0-0---0---0-------------------------------------------------------------| D|----4-4---4---4-------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--0-----0---0---------------------------------------------------------------|
Hopefully you figure out how to play this great song by a great duo! Thanks!
