Hey here's an acoustic version of High Lonesome.
have fun and feel free to comment. I saw Brian Fallon playing this one somewhere
on you tube. Should be pretty much accurate.
Brian tuned everything half step down, but still sounds good with standard tuning.
C (032010)
C 2 (032013) -----------------> in the bridge
G (320033) ------------------| in the verse & chorus
G 2 (320013) ------------------| in the intro & bridge
G/E (055410) ------------------| before chorus
F/E (033210)
Dm (xx0231)
Am7 (002213) ------------------| in the intro & verse
Am (002210) ------------------| in the chorus
If you have trouble playing or remembering the chords, you can also play the
standard chords, still sounds good. but Brian Fallon plays it the way I tabed it.
please rate and feel free to correct
