Starsailor Tab - Born Again
****************************************
tab by: Paul Docherty
****************************************
IMPORTANT: Firstly, to play this song you need to tune your guitar to open G.
This is quite simple. Using the D-string as a guide, both the low E and
the high E down to D. Then, using the G string as a guide, tune the A
string down to G. And that's all there is to it. Your strings, from
thickest to thinnest, should now sound these notes. D, G, D, G, B, D.
I am not at all sure if these are the real chord names, but for the
sake of the tab we'll just call them,
G [ x 0 5 0 3 0 ]
G7 [ x 0 3 0 0 5 ]
G6 [ x 0 2 0 1 0 ]
Basically for most of the song you just strum these in the same pattern
as the record.
e.g.
G G7 G6 G
But for the grace of god she'd cry herself to sleep
G7 G6 G
Because the grace of God is something she can't keep
and so on..............................
However, as you may have noticed there is a picking pattern on the guitar
at parts of the song. This is hard to explain - I'll try, but don't be
surprised if you can't understand it!
This is the picking pattern for G
D ---------------------------
B--------------3-------------
G--------0------------0------
D-----------5-----5----------
G-----0-----------------0----
D----------------------------
This is the picking pattern for G7
D----------------5------------
B----------0-----------0------
G-----------------------------
D-------------3----3----------
G------0------------------0---
D-----------------------------
And this is the picking pattern for G6
D-------------------------------
B----------------0--------------
G---------1-------------1-------
D------------2------2-----------
G-----0----------------------0--
D-------------------------------
And that's about it. I think the notes in these patterns change, but who's
going to know, it still sounds terrific with a bit of practice. The best
way would be to listen to the record while you do this for the first few
times. Now that you know what to look for you might be able to pick it
up easier for yourself. The picking patterns change half way thru I think,
i.e. you change from one to the other when you are in the middle of one.
I'm not too sure how to do it myself, but I just busk it. Anyone who wants
to make any adjustments or add anything to this tab, feel free.
So that's that! And remember keep the fever because if it wasn't for the
good souls, life would not matter!
