Tuning: E A D G B E

Song: Autumn almanac (Live acoustic version) Artist: Ray Davies / The Kinks Composer: Ray Davies Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD') for ultimateGuitar.com 29th Sept 2016 NOTE: If you want to play this song in the original Kinks key of Bm, use a capo at the 2nd fret, or for my more comprehensive tab see this link: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_kinks/autumn_almanac_ver2_crd.htm Based on one of Ray's later live performances where he performs the song a whole tone lower than the original track. He plays a simplified version of the song, without the addition of the original descending bass note progressions.
