ADELE - WHEN WE WERE YOUNG TABS

Tuning: E A D G B E

Second release of Adele's third and longly expected album, "25". This song was released as a live performance at London's Church Studios at November 17th, 2015. Tabbed by Pelusteriano Contact at my UG profile Key of Eb major =========================================================================================== Note: Chords were extracted from the live performance: https://youtu.be/DDWKuo3gXMQ Chord versions by other users were used as reference. Even though it's a straightforward song, I've decided to mark it as intermediate because it needs comfort with barre chords. It could be played with a capo on 3rd fret, but the Fm7 has the lower sound in the whole song, and that's at the 1st fret. =========================================================================================== Chords (low to high, in order of appearance) Cm X35543 Eb/G 365343 Ab 466544 Fm7 133141 Bb 688766 Gm 3553333 Bbsus4 68886X Eb X65343 Fm 133111 **Chords relative to capo on 3rd fret** Am X02210 C/G 032010 F 133211 Dm7 XX0211 G 355433 (recommended) or 320033 Em 022000 Gsus4 355533 C X32010 Dm XX0231 [Intro] Piano arr. for guitar Cm Eb/G Ab Eb/G Fm7 Eb/G |-----------|-----------|------|------| Note: Chord versions are using Gm instead of Eb/G. |-4----4----|-4----4----|-4----|-4----| In the video, at 0:47, you can see the pianist's |-5----3----|-5----3----|-1----|-3----| finger playing the Eb note, the bass sounds a G, |-5----5----|-6----5----|-3----|-5----| that's why I conclude it's an Eb inversion, not |-3---------|-----------|------|------| a Gm chord. |------3----|-4----3----|-1----|-3----| [Verse] ___ ___ |1. |2.
