Capo: 1
Tuning: E A D G B E
I looked through some of the tabs and couldn't find one with chords and melody so I sat down with my guitar
teacher and learned the melody to go along with the song. The notes are a touch different, and there's no
real strumming pattern as it's both strums and finger picking. The notes should ring while you finger pick
to give it the right sound.
I also tried to get the strums and picks above the right words. Some of them are really actually very close
together, sich as the "Too long" in Verse one, that is two fast strums with a slight change. Listen along to
the song being played, and it should make more sense where each note fits. The whole tune is actually the
same all the way through the song, it just looks different when you try visualise it with the lyrics
at the right places.
I use all downwards strums, unless I've specifically added a U above the chord I wrote which is the only time
I use up strums. They're so infrequent, it's barely worth it, you can do it with all down if you like!
