Hello all! Here's a rather simple tab for a rather beautiful song. (I often play in CGCGCC tuning, so I use powerchords instead, which sound good too.) If you listen to the song, the placing of the chords should come easily. NOTE: This is how I play it in standard tuning. It may not be totally correct but it sounds great, particularly with an overdrive or distortion effect on the chorus. I'd Do Anything (the Soldier's Lament - John Butler Trio Tabbed by: DarrenJag E-mail: jasperjmarcus@gmail.com Scale: C major for verse, E minor for chorus Intro: Cmaj7 - G6 - Asus2 - Em, Cmaj7/E - G6 - Asus2 - Em (the trick is to play all five strings on the Cmaj7, and only the low three for the Cmaj/E. If you listen to the song you'll probably notice the subtle addition of the low E to the Cmaj7 chord)
Tell me what you Cmaj7want girlG6, you tell me what yoAsus2u need, Em You know you jCmaj/Eust say the word I'll be riG6ght there, yes I'll be rAsus2ight there at your Emfeet, Because you know youCmaj7 rock girl yG6eah, and I love how we roAsus2ll, Em But I leCmaj7/Eft you all alone, alG6l we got is the phone and it's Asus2never gonna be enoEmugh, Living in thCmaj7is dug-outG6, a million milAsus2es awayEm, man, I wCmaj7/Eish they'd pad thesG6e walls, like an institution,Asus2 man, I'm going craEmzy, Because when I'mCmaj7 away from you gG6irl, I losAsus2e myself, Em You know my Cmaj7/Etrain jumps off thG6e tracks and all my poAsus2ts fall off the shelf.
