Artist: Climax Blues Band Song: Couldn't get it right Tabbed by: DJ 18th June 2013 Tuning: Standard CAPO:2nd fret (Sounds in key of Bm) A simpler way to play it on acoustic guitar. There's a couple of quick jazzy chords, but, if you use the shapes shown at the bottom of the page, they're relatively easy, just use the index finger to barre the top three strings on both chords. *

** Chord shapes are relative to capo position: Am = x02210 or 577555 Abmaj7b5 = xx0113 Dm = xx0231 A4 = x02230 or 577755 Bbm7 = xx0111 Em = 022000 G = 355433 D = xx0232 Bb = x13331 F = 133211 C = x32010 At the end of the choruses the bass does an octave rundown. Playing in Am you can't get that bottom D without detuning your 6th string, but this riff is close enough: D E |--2--------2------| B |--3--------3------| G |--2--------2------| D |--0--------0------| A |-----3--0---------| E |------------------| If you're playing without a capo, in Bm, then you can get the full bass riff: E E |--0---------------| B |--0---------------| G |--1---------------| D |--2--0------------| A |--2-----2---------| E |--0--------0------|
