Artist: Gretchen Peters Song: When you are old Tabbed by: DJ 22nd Jan 2014 From the album 'The secret of life' Tuning: Standard The chords are best played in a fingerpicking style D5 = xx0235 A = x02220 F#m = 244222 Dsus2/F# = 200230 A4 = x02230 Bm = x24432 or xxxx432 Gadd2 = 3x0203 D = xx0232 Bmmaj7 = x24332 or xxxx332 G = 320003 D/C = x30232 Bm7/A = x04232 or xxxx232 Em7 = 022030 G/B = x20033 E7/G# = 4x2400 or xxxx132 A7 = x02020 Gm/Bb = x10033 D4 = xx0233 A7sus4 = x02030 Fm/C# = x44222 D/F# = 200232 N.B. The Bm progression in the middle 8 has a descending bass note, and to be accurate should have a Bb bass on the Bm(maj7)chord, I find the simplest way is to play the chord progression on the top 3 strings only. ******************** D5 Dsus2/F# Gadd2 D/F# Em7 A7 D A7sus4 | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
