Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Decided to tab this out since the other tab, while good, is missing some detail.
This is (mostly) how John Butler plays it. The tab generally reflects the Tin Shed Tales
version(where you
can see his hands).
Drop D. Capo on 3rd fret (that way he can do all those nice bass notes).
Key of F major
Intro and Verse:
During the intro & verse he is simply playing (relative to the capo) D, Bm and a
funny G, like so:
D Bm G
2 2 0
3 3 3
2 4 0
0 4 4
0 2 5
0 x 5
It's worth listening for the strum pattern, as JB tends to like his fast but understated strumming.
He does a different intro on every version, so pick the one you like. Usually he just
plays the D chord over
and over.
For the verse, he's playing it like this:
D D
Well I'll tell you a story
Bm G
About a girl named Kimberley
D D
Who all the cowboys wanted
Bm G
Cos she was wild and free.
CHORUS:
He switches it up a bit in the chorus, and the G chord becomes the one held for 2 bars.
Like so:
D
I am what I am
Bm
And I am strong
G
Cos I got my land
G
And I got my song
HARMONICA BITS:
During these he is just playing either the verse or chorus chord progression. Listen to
each part if you
want to play a harmonica as well. Or just play whatever.
BRIDGE:
This bit is where a tab is useful, and where the other tab available kind of misses out.
Here's what
he's doing.
Where......do I Stand..... Got this hole...and a line drawn in the sand
|---------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|
|---------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|
|---------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|

|-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-0-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---|
|-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---|
And he ends that bit on the G (the first chord).
That's about it I think!
