Tuning: E A D G B E

Song: Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves Artist: Cher Composer: Bob Stone Album: Cher Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com) 19th Sept 2015 Hear the original track at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLTETaWswCY FINE TUNING: If you want to play along with the original studio recording the track is quite flat of standard pitch. The backing track's tempo must have been thought to be a little to fast, and slowing down the tape altered the pitch. Using a chromatic tuner, de-tune all your strings by approx. (minus) -40cents, to closer match the pitch of the track. Alternatively, live concert versions are likely to be in standard pitch, but their arrangements may vary.
