Tuning: E A D G B E
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Can't Give Everything Away – David Bowie --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard David Bowie I Can't Give Everything Away (2015) (David Bowie) From: "Blackstar" There are some tough decisions to make for this song. Multi-layered instruments create sounds that are difficult to reproduce on a single guitar. For this tab I decided to open the chords and include an open G-string throughout. If that is too much for your taste, play regular chords. I put up two versions here, one without a capo, the second one with capo on the first fret (less barree). So, here’s my reading of this beautiful tune, enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1 capo: - key: F --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS E-A-D-G-B-e Fsus2 (t)1-3-3-0-1-1 or: F Dm(add11) x-x-0-0-3-1 or: Dm(7) Bb6 x-1-3-0-3(1) or: Bb Bdim x-2-3-4-3-x or: Bm7-5 (?)
