Rosanna (Acoustic) - The Fratellis from "Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied (Super Deluxe)"
Written by John Paul Lawler (aka: Jon Fratelli) and Tony Hoffer
Notes:
In the intro, the 1st and 3rd beats of each measure start on a C#/G# chord (xxx121)
and slide to a D chord (xx0232). It counts out like this:
Beat: 1 —————————- & 2 & 3 —————————— & 4 &
Chord: | C# (slide to D) D C# (slide to D) D D |
For this chord chart ">" means "slide up."
"C#>D" means "slide up from a C# chord to a D chord."
(In a tab a forward slash (/) means slide up. But in a chord chart a forward slash
means to play the letter to the left of the slash as a chord, and play the letter
to the right of the slash as a bass note.)
|* indicates a 2/4 measure
