By Mike McConnell ----- Notes ----- Performed on a steel stringed acoustic guitar in normal tuning. Play using your fingers to pick and pluck the strings very hard. The verses have a staccato effect - none of the notes are left to ring. This can be achieved by releasing your fretting hand pressure quickly after you have struck each chord, and muting the strings. The chorus is very quiet and gentle in comparison. ------- Verse 1 ------- ________________________________________________________________ / x4 1|-----5---x---0-------2---x---0---|---1-------0-------------------| 2|-----0---x---0-------0---x---0---|---0---------------3-------0---| 3|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 4|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 5|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 6|-7---------------4---------------3-------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ________________________________________________________________ \ 1|-----5---x---0-------2---x---0---|-------------------------------| 2|-----0---x---0-------0---x---0---|-------------------------------| 3|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 4|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 5|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 6|-7---------------4---------------3-------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ------ Chorus ------ (0:41), (1:21) 1|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 2|-------------4-------4-----------|-----------2-------2-----------| 3|---------4-------------------4---|-------2-------------------2---| 4|-----4---------------------------|---2---------------------------| 5|-2---------------2-------2-------0---------------0-------0-------| 6|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 2|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 3|-------------4-------4-----------|-----------3-------------------| 4|---------5-------------------5---|-------4-----------4-----------| 5|-----5---------------------------|---4-----------------------4---| 6|-3---------------3-------3-------2---------------2-------2-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 2|-------------4-------4-----------|-----------2-------2-----------| 3|---------4-------------------4---|-------2-------------------2---| 4|-----4---------------------------|---2---------------------------| 5|-2---------------2-------2-------0---------------0-------0-------| 6|---------------------------------|-------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1|---------------------------------|---------------2-------x-------| 2|---------------------------------|---------------2-------x-------| 3|-------------4-------4-----------|-----------3-------------------| 4|---------5-------------------5---|-------4-----------------------| 5|-----5---------------------------|---4---------------------------| 6|-3---------------3-------3-------2-------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ------- Verse 2 ------- (1:01) Play the first verse riff twice instead of four times. ------ Chorus ------ Repeat the first chorus.
