Rough Around The Edges


I was disappointed to find that this song was not tabbed here, and I really wanted 2 it. So here is my contribution to the tabbing community. Capo @ 1, or tune up half step. Numbers are not relative to capo but assuming that it on. So put a capo on the 1st fret and literally put your finger on the 4th fret of the If tuning up, than reduce all of the numbers by 1. E|-X---X----X---X--------------X---X---X---X-------------------------| B|-4---4----4---4--------------4---4---4---4-------------------------| G|-0---0----0---0--------------0---3---0---0-------------------------| D|-0---0----0---6--------------0---0---3---3-------------------------| A|-6---6----6---4--------------3---0---3---4-------------------------| E|-4---3----0---X--------------4---3---0---X-------------------------| The basic chord progression is this or very close 2 it: Ab Eb/G Fm C# The first section of chords are what he picks through in the verses. The picking is easy to catch. Stutter the first chord for the intro. For the choruses, the basic chord is the same and I haven't figured out exactly how he plays the chords in the chorus, but chords I listed work pretty well. Note: keeping your finger down on the B string - fourth fret for the last 2 chords makes them a Fm7 and Db+2. But it sounds nice to me. Didn't figure out the bridge, if I do I'l post it. Enjoy, this is my fav song on the album. Matt Sisco
