James Bay - Move Together
The Dark of the Morning
Key of Bb
Tabbed by Matt Suddarth
Several times throughout the song James plays a certain "riff" based on an F chord that
goes like this:
d|x----x----0----1----------------------------------------------------------|
A|1----3----3----3----------------------------------------------------------|
F|2----2----2----2----------------------------------------------------------|
C|3----3----3----3----------------------------------------------------------|
G|x----x----x----x----------------------------------------------------------|
D|1----1----1----1----------------------------------------------------------|
All 1's on the low D are held by your thumb.
Throughout the verse he also regularly does hammer ons and pull offs between open and
the second fret on the C string then plays the third fret on the low D before
transitioning to Am.
