------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song For The Painter - Lost In The Trees ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: liggsies Email: deus.est.nos@gmail.com Killer simple as far as I can tell, but I probably couldn't have figured it out a year or so ago when I was firmly in "beginner with no ears stage," so I thought I'd share. It's in 4/4, and the chords are C, Am, F, and G. During the verses, it's consistently one full four-beat measure of C, then one of Am, then two beats F, two beats G, and two beats C again before starting over into the next verse. The picking pattern is a great one to start with for folks who're having a hard time with finger independence, as it's only the thumb and the index+middle fingers plucking in tandem, like so: C Am e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----1-------1-----1-------1-------1-------1-----1--------1----------------| G|-----0-------0-----0-------0-------2-------2-----2--------2----------------| D|--------0h2-----------0h2-------------0h2-----------0h2--------------------| A|--3-------------3---------------0-------------0----------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| F G C etc. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----1-----1-------0-----0-------------------------------------------------| G|-----2-----2-------0-----0-------------------------------------------------| D|--------3-------------0----------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--1------------3-----------------------------------------------------------| | h hammer-on The song starts with just the C pattern being played for quite a while, but when the verses come in this is the approximate context: C Am this song is for the painter F G C who lost both of her hands C Am and this song is for the wanderer who F G C never came home again As usual, listen to the song itself for a better sense of timing. And, as always, all comments, questions, and criticisms are welcome and encouraged.
