Tuning: E A D G B E
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)
