IMPORTNANT INFO:
Chords in brackets are intended to be played as passing bass notes
Please IGNORE ALL CHORD BOXES the website displays, they are not my
personal choices. Those diagrams are generated automatically
from the site's generic database and often do not show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
Please use the voicings suggested below in the text column numbers.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
A* = xx7650 A7/G = 302020
Amaj7/G#* = xx6650 Bm7 = x24232
A7/G* = xx5650 E = 022100
D = xx0232 Esus4 = 022200
A = x02220 Bm = x24432
(A/E) = 002220 C#m = x46654
(A/C#) = x4xxxx D/C# = x40232
(A/B) = x2xxxx Asus2 = x02200
A = x02220 D/A = x00232
Amaj7/G# = 406650 or 402224 Dm = xx0231
N.C. = No chords
In the Intro and break use the higher voicings for the A chords.
For the Verses, with the solo perfomer in mind, I still included
the bass note progressions, but as The Hollies acoustic part,
you could just play standard Amaj7 = x02120, and A7 = (x02020).
but I would recommend keeping the A7/G in the Coda. The other
bass notes on the A and D chords, again, are a personal option.
Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page
and select a star rating for my tab, many thanks.
