--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skeleton Tree – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Cave/Cave, Ellis From: "Skeleton Tree" (2016) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard There is a keyboard layer running through the song, adding notes that aren’t in the regular major and minor chords. I tried to incorporate them into the chords here. They sound beautiful, but it is of course possible to leave out all that and just play the regular chord shapes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 3rd fret play: C key: Eb --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS E-A-D-G-B-e Cadd9 x-3-2-0-3-0 Am11 x-0-5-5-3-0 Fmaj7 1-3-3-2-1-0 Amadd9 x-0-2-4-1-0 G6 3-x-0-0-3-0 Bbadd#11 x-1-3-3-3-0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | Cadd9 | Am11 | Fmaj7 | [Verse A]
