-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man Named Truth – Monsters of Folk -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Monsters of Folk Man Named Truth (2009) From: "Monsters of Folk" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS E-A-D-G-B-E Dm x-x-0-2-3-1 G5 (3)x-0-0-3(1) It’s not easy to decide which kind of “G” to use here. The lead vocal sings a Bb which clearly indicates a Gm. But to actually play the minor 3rd in the guitar accompaniment sounds a little too much,I think, so I chose a neutral G5. The bass often plays a D as a root so technically speaking it should be a G5/D in these instances. Here is the video of a live performance where you can actually see what is played: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fhq-Mn17wY -------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO (don’t know how to count this ...) |3/4 F |5/4 Dm |4/4 Am | Dm | % | CHORUS
