Guest mikehattem Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 finger it like this E A D G B Ex 2 1 2 0 2 I don't play the B (bar chord) jst go right into this B7 and it sounds fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicburto Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 the best thing to do is barre it, if you can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDanBondery Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Ok, it's too late and I should go to bed, but I had to correct this... this is my first tab...sorry. opening riff 0 0 X X X2 2 4 6s32 1 2 5s20 0 2 0 00 0 2 0 00 0 X 0 3 you can play the last chord a little differently for different effect, with an open high e string. OK and the opening chords to the verse are not G / F / G / F - but - G / Fdim "Fdim" is 1X0033 Ok... tomorrow = stress so goodbye and enjoy -BdB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have to play both B and B7 to fit the melody correctly (especially during "tap my glass and nod my chin")...and it sounds twice as good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groo Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Anyone have a bass tab for this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhh4321 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 OK and the opening chords to the verse are not G / F / G / F - but - G / Fdim "Fdim" is 1X0033 This is actually G5/F if you want to get technical but it doesn't really matter. Anyway this is the right chord to play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morelikethemoon Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Go right to the b7, don't play the b first. Ive been playing this song for a long time and that's the correct way. If you ever need more help with this song I know it in and out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
