----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breathing - Lifehouse ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: David F#7 E-mail: d7.funnell@gmail.com This is one of my favourite songs so I took my time to get this one. It sounds just about right - even the intro, which is played on a banjo, sounds good. Usually the guitar just plays chords for the intro, but I translated the banjo riff into guitar and it sounds right. Tuning: D tuning D G C F A d (which is just standard tuned a whole step down) If a chord has a * beside it, it means you only strum it once. E.g. C* means you strum a c chord once downwards. If a word has a dash in the middle of it, it is because the chord doesn't change until partway through that word, which is after the dash.
