--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come Softly to Me The Fleetwoods --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard The Fleetwoods Come Softly to Me (1959) (Gretchen Christopher/Barbara Ellis/Gary Troxel) Now on "Come Softly To Me - The Very Best Of" The tab points out the harmonies used throughout the song. When playing alone, I use the basic pattern to add these beautiful tensions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORUS C 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|----0---0---0---|----1---0-------|----0---0---0---|----1---0-------| B|----1---1---1---|----3---1-------|----1---1---1---|----3---1-------| G|--0-------------|--0-----------0-|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|--0-------------|--0-----------0-| A|3---------------|3---------------|3---------------|3---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Come soft-ly dar-ling Come soft-ly dar-ling Dm7 G 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----1---1---1---|----3---1---1---|0---0---0---0---|----1---0-------| G|----2---2---2---|----4---2---2---|0---0---0---0---|----2---0-------| D|0---------------|0-----------0---|--0-----------0-|--0-----------0-| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|0---------------|3---------------| Come soft-ly dar-ling Come soft-ly dar-ling C 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|----0---0---0---|----1---0-------|----0---0---0---|----1---0-------| B|----1---1---1---|----3---1-------|----1---1---1---|----3---1-------| G|--0-------------|--0-----------0-|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|--0-------------|--0-----------0-| A|3---------------|3---------------|3---------------|3---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Come softly dar-ling come to me sta-ay Dm7 G 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----1---1---1---|----3---1---1---|0---1---0---0---|----1---0-------| G|----2---2---2---|----4---2---2---|0---2---0---0---|----2---0-------| D|0---------------|0-----------0---|--0-----------0-|--0-----------0-| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|0---------------|3---------------| You're my ob- ses-sion for- e-ver and a da-ay --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo 1st fret INTRO (a capella, no chords)
