Song Title: Bus Stop Artist: The Hollies Tabbed By: bmchrestoff (May 18, 2017 to May 30, 2017) IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) The song was originally recorded using a 12 string acoustic guitar and sounds very cool when played w/ one. It also sounds almost as good if all you have is a 6 string acoustic 3) I came up w/ this tab to make it MUCH EASIER to play this song and yet stay in the key of C. This tab will allow you to pull off the iconic Intro and solo to impress your family and friends in a much more efficient manner using just TWO FINGERS 4) Chord names are relative to Capo position 5) (4) Optional Note in Intro. The intro still songs cool even though technically it is not 100% correct but it allows you to play the intro w/ using just TWO FINGERS 6) This arrangement also allows you to play the guitar solo and incorporate both the 12 and 6 string acoustic guitars that play together on the original recording. It is very impressive if you can master it. All you need to do is to pluck the strings using an upward motion of your two middle fingers on your right hand (or Left f/ you Leftys) ======================================================================================================= CHORDS USED IN THIS SONG: C X X X 0 0 3 Cmaj7 X X X 0 0 2 C6 X X X 0 0 0 C5 X X X 0 3 X Bm7#5 X X 4 2 3 0 Bm#5 X X 4 2 3 X Em 0 2 2 0 0 0 D7 X X 0 2 1 2 G 3 2 0 0 3 3 D X X 0 2 3 2 Am7 X 0 2 0 1 3 Bm7/A X 2 4 2 3 2 Bm X 2 4 4 3 2 F#7 2 4 2 3 2 2 F#7* 2 4 2 3 5 2 E 0 2 2 1 0 0 ====================================================================================== [Intro] Acoustic 12 String Guitar #1 (Capo V)
