Hi all,
For the sake of making this song no hassle to play, I’ve tabbed it out in
standard tuning (as seen above). If you really wanted to add a little more
flair, you could tune down to Eb standard which would allow you to play the
Eb chord at two different octaves shown here:
[Verse]
Gb Ab Ebm Ebm
eb|---3-----5-----7-----0---|
Bb|---3-----5-----8-----0---|
Gb|---4-----6-----9-----0---|
Db|---5-----7-----9-----2---|
Ab|---5-----7-----7-----2---|
Eb|---3-----5-----------0---|
This would also open up the chorus to be played with simple open chords
as seen here:
[Chorus]
Db Ab B Gb
eb|---2-----0-----0-----3---|
Bb|---3-----2-----1-----0---|
Gb|---2-----2-----0-----0---|
Db|---0-----2-----2-----0---|
Ab|---------0-----3-----2---|
Eb|---------------------3---|
It’s up to you how to play it.
Enjoy! Questions, comments, concerns, please let me know!
