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!
As with all Mason I'm familiar with, all strings are dropped one half step. In
addition, drop the 6th string another step like drop D tuning. You'll end up with
C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D#. Finally, capo on 2nd fret.
The D and E minor chords use all six strings, striking 6th string first as a base note
and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern
where the first two down strikes are the base note. When you play the E minor chord,
add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you're in
drop D.
I think there's also a little flourish of some sort on the D chords in the chorus, but I
can't figure out what it is. Listen to the song and let me know if you get it. This
is my first tab, so any feedback is appreciated. All the best!
D
I met a man who was not quite an old man
Amaj7
Said he was an old boy
D
I would make a toast to believe and bet you
Amaj7
That I would be the same old man
D
Not the kind with a lost soul
Amaj7
Who can't put down his toys
D
Honey there'll be absolute peace in my heart
Amaj7
And resolution in my soul
Em A D
So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised
Em A D
When I don't leave your side
Em
'Cause there's not a single part of my love
A D
That you should not believe
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
D
I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies
Amaj7
Because I love the left lane
D
And I begged the pardon of the mass media
Amaj7
You know on Sundays I don't go to mass
D
And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your
Amaj7
house, I'm waiting for a hurricane
D
To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me
Amaj7 D
who's gonna be here last
Em A D
So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised
Em A D
When I don't leave your side
Em
'Cause there's not a single part of my love
A D
That you should not believe
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
