"Clinging On For Life"- The Hoosiers
CAPO 2
You want the pick pattern to be the the following whilst holding each chord shape:
C= 5th string, 2nd and 3rd strings together x4
Am= 5th string, 2nd and 3rd strings together x4
Em= 5th string, 2nd and 3rd strings together x4
A= 5th string, 2nd and 3rd strings together x4
D= 4th string, 1st and 2nd strings together x4
G= 6th string, 1st and 2nd strings together x4
When coming back to the C each time on the verse try and hammer on the whole chord as you start
playing it again
to get more of an accurate sound ALSO NOTE: When you play the Am parts each time before you change up to Em you
to play the 5th string twice quickly and then hammer-on the 2nd string and then play it open again as in:
E|-------------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
A|--0---0---0-0------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
D|-------------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
G|---2---2-----------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
B|---1---1-----0h1-0-|-------------|-------------|-------------|
e|-------------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
You really need to play this in the verses
INTRO- C(x4),Am(x4),Em(x4),G(x4)

For the outro whistling ooo-ee-ooo-ee-ooo bit, it's the same pattern as the verse and chorus of C,Am,Em,G
This is my first tab so it may not be 100% but got annoyed looking at all of the other wrong versions. Hope it
helps people!! :)
