Even in the acoustic version, there are actually two playing, please keep that in mind should you find any discrepancies. The majority of this song to be played with downstrokes only. Also, note at the end an alternative way to finger the introduction (which is quite a harder but may sound better - I play it the first way). Email me with corrections/suggestions. --- Gtr I (D A D G B E) - 'Acoustic Guitar' Introduction Q=130 4/4 Gtr I ||------------------|-----------------| ||o-----------------|-----------------| ||--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| ||--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| ||o-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| ||--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-x-|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| |-------------------------|-----------------------| |-------------------------|-----------------------| |-------------------------|-----------------------| |-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|-12-12-12-12-0-0-0-0---| |-12-12-12-12-10-10-10--9-|--9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9---| |-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--9-|--9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9---| 1.,2.,3. 4. 4x |------------------------|------------------||-------------------------| |------------------------|-----------------o||-------------------------| |------------------------|------------------||-------------------------| |-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--||-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-| |--8--8--8--8--7--7--7-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-o||--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-| |--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--||--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-| Verse 1 1.,3. 4x ||------------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------|| ||o-----------------|-------------------|----------------|------------------o|| ||------------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------|| ||--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--x--|-5--5-5-5-5-5-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---|| ||o-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-2-|-2-2-2-4-4-4-4--x--|-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--o|| ||------------------|---------------(0)-|-5--5-5-5-5-5-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|| 2.,4. |-----------------|-----------------|| |-----------------|----------------o|| |-----------------|-----------------|| |-5--5-5-7-7-x-/9-|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|| |-5--5-5-0-0-x-/7-|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-o|| |-5--5-5-0-0-x----|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|| I go out in public now More than you might think, But only after several drinks.
