Tuning: E B E G# B E

Song: If I laugh Artist: Cat Stevens Composer: Cat Stevens Album: Teaser & the Firecat Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com) 29th Aug 2018 OPEN 'E' TUNING: E-B-E-G#-B-E Using a chromatic tuner may make things easier: Tune the 5th string UP to B Tune the 4th string UP to E Tune the 3rd string UP to G# Take time to check the tab out, this looks more complicated than it really is because of the chord names, once the strings are retuned the chords are mostly very easy barre shapes with just an extra note added here and there. Here are the main riffs: (E *)(Eadd4) (E) E 'Cause if---- I---- laugh... e |--4---h5---5-/7--|--7-------- B |-----------------|--0-------- G#|-----------------|--0-------- E |-----------------|--0-------- B |-----------------|--0-------- E |-----------------|--0-------- A E/G# B7sus4 E ** e |--------5-------0----0------0-----| B |------5-------0------0------0-----| G#|----5-------3--------1------0-----| E |--5-------4----------2------0-----| B |----------------------------------| E |-------------------------------0--| E ** E *** E **** E ***** F# F#7 F#6 F# e |--0--7-7-7---5-5-5---4-4-4--|--2--2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--| B |--0--9-9-9---7-7-7---5-5-5--|--2--5-5-5---4-4-4---2-2-2--| G#|--0--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0--|--2--2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--| E |--0--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0--|--2--2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--| B |--0--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0--|--2--2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--| E |--0--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0--|--2--2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--| Verses 3 and 6 chords can either be strummed or played as arpeggios, but take note of the strings that are not played.
