Tuning:
Hey, first tab I've done and it's more accurate than the one currently up chords-wise [as of writing], thought
I'd do the acoustic chord variation though because it sounds so nice on guitar. Props to the other tab for
the chorus chords though [Taylor Swiftfan]. Props also to Lisa for writing such a beautiful song.
Structure:
Verse = E, A. On 'E' Move middle finger from 2nd fret on the A string to the 2nd fret on the E string to get
the third [I don't know what] chord she plays. The A ['spin me round the room like a'] is played using an E
pattern barring the 5th fret. Back to E for ['marionette']. For the E bits you strum down once on the first
3-4 strings [i.e 6, 5, 4, 3...], pause, then strum up on the last 2-3 strings. You then move into the E
variation on which you only strum the 6,5,4,3 strings. Strum down-up like: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2 then back to E.
The alternative is just to use the F#m as apparently used in the album version instead of the E variation.
Bridge = C#m i.e Am barring fourth fret, but then she moves the barring down to 3rd, then perhaps again? I
personally can't reach that far down but I'm shit at guitar. The Bb half diminished sounds right though.
Chorus = as the other tab put it, really simple: B, F#m, A, E.
Just to be clear I'm going to call the E variation 'E[var]' and it's like this:
e|-x-------------|
B|-x-------------|
G|-1-------------|
D|-2-------------|
A|-0-------------|
E|-2-------------|

Rest of the song follows the same pattern.
