Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Twist in my sobriety (Live acoustic 2013) Artist: Tanita Tikaram Composer: Tanita Tikaram Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar.com) 3rd Nov 2018 Link to this solo studio performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXePfBKjbek Tanita performs this solo version a whole tone higher than the original album recording, unusual in popular music as most recording artists lower the key over their career. She plays fingerstyle and picks only selected strings. She plays a C chord with a top G on the 1st string but then doesn't play that high E string. This is a different arrangement to the original in that she misses out some of the repeat lines in all the choruses and also doesn't play the final 'Cup of tea...' and 'Half the people...' verses. The C7 only seems to appear in the break, but could be used as an intermediate chord between the C and Fm7 in all the verses. CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the key of Gm) Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo: Fm7 = 1x111x or 131111 Fm = 133111 Bbm7-5 = x1212x C7 = x32310 C = x32010 or x32013 h = hammer-on p = pull-off Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ================================================================= [Intro] Fm7 Bbm7-5 C Fm7 e |------------|------------|------------|---------1-h4-p1---|[x2] B |-----1--1---|-----2--2---|-----1--1---|----1--1--------4--| G |-----1--1---|-----1--1---|-----0--0---|----1--1-----------| D |-----1--1---|-----2--2---|-----2--2---|----1--1-----------| A |------------|--1-----1---|--3-----3---|-------------------| E |--1-----1---|------------|------------|--1----1-----------| [Verse 1] Fm7 Bbm7-5 All God's children need travelling shoes,
