------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOCKINGBIRD - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: jvwald This tab is based on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPVAbU_xTK8 C#m 9(11)(11)999 E 0(11)99xx *often played with a hammer up from 9 to 11 on the 5th string. Asus2 577600 or x02200 G#m7 464444 C#m II x46654 E II 022100 Bm 799777 E III 0799xx A note on the intro: once the riff moves up to the 9th fret, it's difficult to tab out exactly what is being played plus in the live versions he usually improvises this part. Either way, I tabbed out what I hear the first time through. After that, it sounds like he has his index finger on 099xxx and he's hammering on with his ring finger on the 11th fret of either the 4th or 5th stings in whatever way sounds good. riff 1* e|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|-------------------9--------9-9-9--| x4 D|--2-2-------9------9-9h(11)-9-9-9--| A|--2-4-5-7~--9h(11)-9-9------9-9-9--| E|--0-0-------0--------0-------------|
