Song: This Town
Artist: Niall Horan
Year: 2016
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2
This is my first tab! I just got the tabs from watching his live 1 mic, 1 take recording. You can watch
it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNBlfyYHu80
All chords are relevant to the capo.
[Chords]
G, Em7 Cadd9, D, G* (not official name), Dm/G (not official name)
NOTE: He plays a Cadd9 shape but many times in the video, he removes his index finger from the 2nd fret of
D string. This doesn't affect sound, but saying it's a Cadd9 is easiest for the tab's sake.
Picking D
Traditional D shape, pick like this.
e|-----------------------|
B|----3---3---3----------|
G|----2---2---2----------|
D|---0---0---0-----------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|
G*Traditional G shape on B and e, play like this:
e|-----------------------|
B|----3------------------|
G|----0------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|--2--------------------|
Dm/G - Dm shape with your thumb pressing on the 2nd fret, wrap around the neck of the guitar.
e:1
B:3
G:2
D:0
A:0
G:2
Pick it like this:
e|-----------------------|
B|----3------------------|
G|----2------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|--2--------------------|
The progression in the prechorus when he says "The words I never got to say the first time around" can be
slightly tricky. G and G* are only picked twice. The best way to describe it is to step down with your
index and middle fingers so it's like this:
"The words I never got to say the first time around"
D D G G G* G* Em7 x4
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----3---3------3---3---3---3----3---3---3---3-------|
G|----2---2------0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0-------|
D|--0----0--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------2---2---2---2-------|
E|---------------3---3---2---2------------------------|
^ Walk down the E string, using your middle for G and your index finger for G*.
[Intro]
G
The picking pattern is fairly consistent throughout the song. Basically, pick the lowest note followed by the
G and B strings as shown below:
e|-----------------------|
B|----3---3---3----------|
G|----0---0---0----------|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|--3---3---3------------|
(Repeat this until Niall begins to sing)
[Verse 1]
GWaking up to kiss you and nobody’s there
Em7The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
Cadd9It’s hard
GYesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round
Em7It’s funny how things never change in this old town
Cadd9So far
DFrom the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm/GAnd I want to tell you Deverything
The words I never Ggot to say the fG*irst time aEm7round
Dm/GAnd I remember evDerything
From when we were Gthe children plaG*ying in this faiEm7rground
Wish I was there with you Cadd9now
[Chorus]
Em7If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
Cadd9Drive highways and byways to be there with you
GOver and over, the only truth
Em7EverythDing comes bGack to yCadd9ou
[Break]
Cadd9 D (a single picking pattern) G
