--------------- ACROSS THE LINE - Bellowhead --------------- Tabbed by: Dan Glover (dan-the-man278) Email: dangloverenator@googlemail.com Tuning: Standard EADGBe, no capo This is a great song off a wonderful album, and it has some tricky progressions here and there. However, I think this is pretty much spot-on. Comments and corrections are welcome. Note: In the second and third instrumentals, I have notated the rhythm of some of the chords using slashes and bar lines- the chords should be on the first, third and fourth beats of those bars. Chord shapes: Em: 022000 F#m7: 242222 or 244200 Bm7: x24232 A: x02220 D/F#: 2x0232 (wrap your thumb round the neck for the bass note & muting the A-string) G: 320033 or 320003 D: xx0232 Bm: x24432 F#m: 244222 INTRO ----- Em F#m7 Bm7 A VERSE 1 -------
