------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colette - Langhorne Slim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Nate Mitchell Email: nmitchell076@gmail.com Tuning: Standard Capo on 2 Notes concerning chord shapes at the bottom of the page. Intro: F Fadd11* F C C F Fadd11 F C C F Fadd11 F C C G Verse 1: F Fadd11 F C C All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend F Fadd11 F C C You came along just then F Fadd11 F C C You gave me crazy love and you whispered, G "You got a bottle and nobody that your missin'." F Fadd11 F C C I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover F Fadd11 F C C You said, "Don't get excited, but take cover" F Fadd11 F C C We stepped into the light to pictures of each other G Some were in black and white, the others were in color Chorus: F Fadd11 F G G C Colette, I knew the second we met, you'd go to my head C Am Am we took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere F Fadd11 F G G C and I guess it was something you said, we'll rest when we're dead C Am Am now it must seem pretty clear F C G F C G That I love you. Yes, I do. (repeat intro and verse 1, lyrics are the same, sing one octave higher) Break: C/G D5** C F C G G (repeat x8) Chorus (2x as fast as previously played) F Fadd11 F G G C C Am Am F Fadd11 F G G C C Am Am F Fadd11 F G G C Colette, I knew the second we met, you'd go to my head C Am Am we took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere F Fadd11 F G G C and I guess it was something you said, we'll rest when we're dead C Am Am now it must seem pretty clear F C G F C C/G That I love you. * Fadd11 is used as a passing tone, hammer your pinky onto an A# and then immediately release back into F. Chord shape for Fadd11 is simply: -1- -1- -3- -3- -0- --- ** the D5 of the break is used as a passing tone, just release your fingers from the C/G shape and pick the A and D strings. Part is so fast that it won't be noticeable and sounds correct in the context. Note concerning chord shapes: As with many of Folk musicians, Langhorne Slim uses a slight variation in chord shapes. The chords will usually feel like they are shaped like C, that is: -0- -1- -0- -2- -3- -0- To form an F Chord, all you would have to do would be to move your 2 fingers from the D and A Strings to the G and D strings, and mute (or don't play) the E strings. So F would be formed like this: --- -1- -2- -3- -0- --- similarly, G would be played like this: -3- -0- -0- -0- -2- -3- Note that your pinky is on the high G. Another note is that for this song, Langhorne plays C with the added 5th, so just keep your pinky like its playing G and your good to go. The final chord of this song is C/G, the G is the lower G, not the higher one, so the chord would be: -0- -1- -0- -2- -3- -3- This is the same shape of C/G used in the break section. Forming these chords is far easier then explaining how to :], but I hope this helped some people who are new to folk chord shapes.
