Song Title: Time Of The Season Artist: The Zombies (Rod Argent) Tabbed By: bmchrestoff (1996) IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) This arrangement will allow for a solo acoustic performance that incorporates the iconic baseline that is really what defines the song 2) I substituted the first position Em for an Em9 at the 5th fret to facilitate including the bassline in the arrangement. The Em9 fits in well w/ the song and adds a little jazzy sophistication to the performance. Actually an E9 chord at the 6th fret works also and is a bit easier to grip 3) The Reality is an Em9 is a difficult grip to make and what you actually end up doing is muting the D String anyway so why bother? Just use the E7sus2 chord grip and make your life easier 4) Rod Argent was the EVH of the 60's keyboard players and I'm not even going to waste my time trying to tab the very cool organ Solo and Outro but instead will tab the chords that carry the backround 5) In my book this is a bit difficult because of the grip stretch using Em9 and inverted E chords. Not many of us can actually do it cleanly ========================================================================================================= CHORDS USED IN THIS SONG: Em9 0 7 5 7 7 X Em9* X 7 5 7 7 X E9 0 7 6 7 7 X E9* X 7 6 7 7 X E7sus2 0 7 X 7 7 X (Optional) Cadd9 X 3 2 0 3 0 Em 0 2 2 0 0 0 G X X 5 4 3 3 Em** X X 9 9 8 7 D X X 0 2 3 2 Am7 X 0 2 2 1 3 E X X 2 4 5 4 Organ Solo: Em7 0 2 0 0 3 0 Cadd9 X 3 2 0 3 0 G X X 5 4 3 3 Em 0 2 2 0 0 0 G/B X 2 0 0 3 X Am7 X 0 2 2 1 3 E X X 2 4 5 4 =================================================================================== [Intro] Guitar 1
