Artist - Ryan Adams
Song - Karina
Album - 48 Hours
This is an Awesome song, I've been wanting to be able to play it ever since I first heard it a couple of
years ago, I thought I could sit around and wait for someone to tab it, turns out no one did and I got bored
waiting.
This is what I came up with.
It's a pretty easy song to play too so have fun!
I think the timing is 6/4 could be wrong though...
Capo 3!!
All notes relevant to capo!

I beg to Jesus wont you let Karina free
Karina all this silence is so defeaning
and all the leaves have fallen from the trees
if I could hold your cigarette on oxford street
well im back here were your lover wants me to be
and Karina there a patience in all the things we say
it’s the harvering of all the things we do
yeah and every time I tell myself there is nothing there
may I always say your name and think of you
Cause if it were easy
you wouldn’t need me
if it would bring you any ease
I beg to Jesus wont you let Karina free x2
Solo Thing
Play Same As Verse as many times as necessary.
Karina if I told you would I want it to
I wonder if you would have stuck around
Yeah I can take you walking down to Hawkstun square
with the lazy afternoon still kicking around
And Karina if I left it were I wanted to
I wonder if you sit around and smile
when your dreaming of America your fathers ghost
breaks the door with all this change rattle around
Cause if it were easy
you wouldn’t need me
if it would bring you any ease
I beg to Jesus wont you let Karina free x3
And that's It
I know its probably quite a basic outline of the song but it should get you started with it.
Hope you like it, I may not have lined the chords and the words up exactly right but its fixed if you listen
to the song.
Play around with it too to add your own improvs and things... there's a lead part he plays
he's going back into the verse - pretty much every time.
you play a C chord then it goes like this
e--3-----------|
b--1-----------|
g--0--------2--|
D--2--------2--|
A--3---3-2--0--|
E--------------|
Let me know what you think of it anyway... leave a comment or rate it or whatever!
Laters!
