Capo: 3
Song: What The Water Gave Me
Artist: Florence + The Machine
Album: Ceremonials
Tabbed by: Patrick Gamache
Tuning: Drop D
Capo 3
Okay, so I did the bass tab for this song a while ago, and I was trying to figure out a version for the guitar,
and I really didnât think the other tabs did a very good job of making decent chords. So, I have a version here
that you can play in Drop D, or standard if youâre okay with fudging around some of the chords a little bit,
especially that Dm chord. It doesnât sound right in standard.
Chords:
Am |x02210|
C |x32010|
F |2221xx| or |x33210| (I use the first one on the verses and the second one on the refrains)
Em |222000|
Dm |000231|
G |5x0003| or |550003|
F5 |333xxx|
D5 |000xxx|
G5 |555xxx|
