Tuning: D G C F A D

Song: 10538 overture Artist: ELO Composer: Jeff Lynne Album: The Electric Light Orchestra Tabbed by DJ ['DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar.com] 2nd Dec 2015 TUNING: De-tune all strings down a full tone to D-G-C-F-A-d [Song will then sound in the key of C] 2014 Hyde Park live performance video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsvo2e4tShY An alternative rare 70's live version, performed a tone higher than the original track, in the key of D [i.e. in standard tuning] at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LxUKa4kB6o * In the break riff, Jeff Lynne plays an Am, and the C bass is added by the cellos, but for a solo performer adding the C bass to the chord does sound better as a progression. Chords are named as if in standard tuning: D = xx0232 A5 = 577xxx E = 022100 Dm9 = xx0560 D/C = x30232 G#5 = 466xxx E4 = 022200 Aadd2 = x07600 G/B = x20033 A#5 = 688xxx Am = x02210 Dm = xx0231 Gm/A# = x10033 G5 = 355xxx Am7 = x02010 Am/C * = x32210 Gm/C = x3xxxx D4 = xx0233 Bm = x24432 A#maj7 = xx3335 Gm/F = xx3xxx Bm7 = x24232 ^ = Emphasise the beats p = Pull-off note [Picking pattern for the main riff] C C/Bb F/A Fm/Ab D D/C G/B Gm/A# d |------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|[x2] A |------3-----3-----|------3-----3-----|------3-----3-----|------3-----3-----| F |----2-----2----2--|----2-----2----2--|----0-----0----0--|----0-----0----0--| C |--0-----0-----0---|------------------|------------------|------------------| G |------------------|--3-----3-----3---|--2-----2-----2---|--1-----1-----1---| D |------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------| C C/Bb F/A Fm/Ab Fm/Bb Fm/Eb D D/C G/B Gm/A# Gm/C Gm/F d |------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------------| A |------3-----3-----|------3-----3-----|------3-----3-----|-----3-------------| F |----2-----2----2--|----2-----2----2--|----0-----0----0--|---0---0-----------| C |--0-----0-----0---|------------------|------------------|----------------3--| G |------------------|--3-----3-----3---|--2-----2-----2---|--1-------1--3-----| D |------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------------| Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ==================================================================================== [Intro] D D/C G/B Gm/A# | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | D D/C G/B Gm/A# | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | D D/C G/B Gm/A# Gm/A# Gm/C Gm/F | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / /___/ / | [Verse 1]
