RISE by Tom Francis
Album: From Up There
Standard Tuning, No Capo
This is a basic tab of the song, but if you listen to the track you can hear that on each chord
he often does a little alternation between chords. You can easily make this song sound very good and give it
some more flair than what is written by strumming and doing progressions like:
Am Am* C C* G D D* D**
-----------------3---2-------3---
-1-------1---1---3---3---3---3---
-2---2---------------2---2---2---
-2---2---2-----------------------
---------3---3---2---------------
-----------------3---------------
That's the progression I follow when playing this song, but as you start playing it you can see how easy it is
to add or subtract notes in the chords to give it more variation. But, for interest of simplicity, I have wrote
only the base chord changes needed to play the song. Please leave any corrections or comments!
