Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Standard tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 2nd
This is my first tab but it's pretty much perfect. I've just seen Jon Allen play in a
venue called Cluny2 in Newcastle (25/09/09), there was only about 40 people there!
He played with the capo on 4th live but it's on 2nd for the album.
Intro and Verse:
Am F D F
x 1 x 1
0 3 x 3
2 3 0 3
2 2 2 2
1 1 3 1
0 1 2 1
repeat throughout except for one variation:
The last 'F' is replaced with an 'Em' a couple of times in each verse (you'll hear it)
it's tricky to keep swapping your hand round but before giving up, try a normal 'F'
but don't play the high e string.
Hope you like it, now if i could only work out 'going home'! i know only that it's
in DADGAD if that helps!
