Carolina


This is the tab as it appeared on guitartabs.cc, but I didn't think to include the tabber's name when I copied it, so whoever you are, thank you. I've added a couple at end of the tab, but they stay true to the original chords. Have fun; this is an song. And please, please, post anything else by M Ward that you know--I live on his music. intro dsus2 g6add4 -> (320030) dsus2 g6add4 oh where are you going for the 250th time dsus2 g6add4 well i'm waiting for a sign, well it looks just like another line A bm and i'm walking backwards to the place where i came from g6add4 A dsus2 oh but that aint enough, no you want me to run. g6add4 dsus2 g6add4 dsus2 g6add4 used to feel like california with baby eyes so blue dsus2 g6add4 now i feel like carolina i split myself in two A bm now i'm walking backwards from chicago through washington g6add4 A dsus2 oh but that aint enough, no you want me to run g6add4 A bm oh that aint enough, you want me to run g6add4 bm g6add4 bm g6add4 bm g6add4 (pull from high d to c# for both the bm and the g6add4 then hammer back on) dsus2 g6add4 better watch your soul, it'll leave you like 100 bucks dsus2 g6add4 my friend said stick to your guns, but instead i just got stuck A bm and i'm walking backwards looking forward to getting done g6add4 A dsus2 no but that aint enough, you want me to run g6add4 A bm oh that aint enough, you want me to run g6add4 bm g6add4 dsus2 g6add4 used to feel like california with baby eyes so blue dsus2 g6add4 now i feel like carolina i split myself in two dsus2 g6add4 used to feel like california with baby eyes so blue dsus2 g6add4 now i feel like carolina i split myself in two this is pretty close but not 100 percent, obviously, listen to the song for how long to play the chords and the strumming pattern, Okay, this guy tabbed it pretty well, so i'll just add a couple little things that sound good. For the Dsus2 and G6add4, I usually go with a Bass-Strum-Mess Around With the High pattern. For me, it looks about like this: e---------0-----0-------0--------------0--------0-------------| B------2-----2-----2--2---2--------2-----2--2-------2---------| G------3-----3--------3----3-------0--------0----0------------| D---0--0-----0--------0------------0--------------------------| A---0---------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------3-----------------------------| ...and so on. It's not even close to a set-in-stone pattern...I think some kind of bass and the strumming are important, but it really doesn't matter what strings you strum or what you do with the strings. And now for the Bm: at the end of each verse, he does a nice little riff on the Bm. Lately I haven't even been barring it; I just finger it like this, low E to high: 000432 The riff is something like this: e----2-0-------0----2-0--------2-0-------2----2-0--------------| B--------3-2-3----------3-0--------3-2-3----------3-2----------| G--------------------------------------------------------------| D--------------------------------------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------------| I didn't include the strumming, but your thumb should probably be doing something while fingers work on the high strings. and again, it's not set in stone. this is just how i play approximately. mess around and have fun.
