Capo: 4
HEY YA - Obadiah Parker Tabbed by: BoomerB04 Email: sburmeister@wisc.edu Tuning: Standard: CAPO 4 Here's a link to a video of me playing it when I first tabbed it out... this is before I the hammer-ons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4_tPIWCyK0 This is my first tab. I know it's not 100% correct but I know it sounds pretty good. So don't send me a bunch of e-mails telling me it's not right because I'm aware of that. it's a pretty simple song in terms of the chords. Singing the rhythm correctly with the can be a little trickier for some. The same 4 chords repeat throughout the song. There is one place where it changes a bit... which is where he says "Then what makes love the exception"... you repeat the 3rd and chords again. Chords Used: C F Cmaj9 Am7 (I'm aware that these may not be the correct names, but the sake of simplicity this is what I'll call them) C F Cmaj7 Am7 e|--3-------3-------3-------3---| B|--1-------1-------1-------1---| G|--0-------2-------0-------2---| D|--2-------3-------0-------2---| A|--3-------0-------2-------0---| E|--x-------x-------3-------x---| If you want to throw some hammer-ons in, the tab looks like this: (I spaced the rhythm a little bit to show the chord changes)
