Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes - Paul Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paul Simon, Intro: Paul Simon/Joseph Shabalala From: "Graceland" Tabbed by: maguri (1986) Tuning: Standard The a capella intro is in E, the song in F. I suggest using a capo 3rd fret and play D (C# for the intro). That way it is easy to play the licks between the vocal lines. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 3rd fret play: D key: F --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lick in the verses capo 3rd no capo G/D G/D Bb/F Bb/F D D D F F F 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|------2-3p2-3-2-----------------| e|--------------------------------------| B|-----[3-3---3-3]----------------| B|-------10-11p10-11-10-----------------| G|------2-4p2-2-2-----------------| G|--------------------------------------| D|0-------------------------------| D|-------10-12p10-12-10-----------------| A|--------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------| For easy strumming I replaced the G/D with a simple Dsus4 in this chord sheet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [A-Capella Intro] (the chords follow the vocal harmonies)
