Gregory Alan Isakov - Big black car

Play the whole song in long-short rhythm. [Verse Pattern] Repeats for during all verses. For the fret 1 on the low E string I wrap my thumb around the top of the neck. e|----------------|----------------| B|----1-----1-----|----1-----1-----| G|--0-----0---0---|--0-----0-----0-|repeat enough D|--------------2-|----------------|to get through verse A|0---------------|------3-----2---| E|------3---------|1---------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + [Transition between Verses and before each Chorus] e|-----------------|----------------| B|-----------------|----------------| G|--0----0---0---0-|--0---0---0---0-|repeat D|----0h2----------|----------------| 2x A|0--------3---0---|----0---3---0---| E|-----------------|3---------------| 1 + 2 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + [Intro Pattern] Just the Verse Pattern with extra hammer-ons. The tricky part is walking down from 3 to 2 on the A string in the second measure because you need to switch between your ring finger and middle finger and use the other finger to do the hammer-on. The hammer-ons are triplets. e|----------------|-------------------|--0-----0-----0-|----0-----0-----| B|----1-----1-----|---1----1----1----1|1-----1-----1---|--1-----1-----1-| G|--0-----0---0---|0h2--0h2--0h2--0h2-|------------0---|--0-----0-----0-| D|--------------2-|-------------------|----------------|----------------| A|0---------------|----------3----2---|0---------------|------3-----2---| E|------3---------|1------------------|------3---------|1---------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + That's it. Get these three parts down and then just strum the chords to the Choruses. There are plenty of tabs with the chords so I won't add them here. Rate this if you think it was helpful so others can learn this great song correctly. ************** | h Hammer-on **************
