Song: Excuses Artist: Alanis Morissette Album: So-Called Chaos Tabbed by David Ward Questions, Comments, additions, complaints, whatever, email me - saishuunojikkou@yahoo.de I'd noticed no one had bothered to tab any of her new album yet, so here's my addition. Be nice, it's my first tab! D A G Gm Cm e 2 0 3 3 3 b 3 2 3 3 4 g 2 2 0 3 5 d 0 2 0 5 5 a x 0 2 5 3 E x x 3 3 3 If you listen to the album version, there's no recognizable strumming pattern, however this version is meant to be played accoustically. You can just strum the chords, but I recommend you make a quiet finger-picking pattern for the first verse and then strum starting with the chorus. Just do what feels right to the mood of the song. Intro D D Verse I
