E---x------(0)-----x------x------3------1------x-|
N.B it's important to dampen the strings not being used in the intro to really emphasise the
walking down bass pattern of E D C B (the E in Fmaj7, the D in Em7, the C in C/F and the
B in Cmaj7) so keep the chords really tight and it'll sound great. The open E string on the
Em7 chord is optional, but i think it makes the chord sound "dirty".
INTRO
this is the keyboard part arranged for guitar with added chords for your strumming pleasure:
