I BELONG TO YOU - LAUREN O'CONNELL & Ryan Lerman Standard Tuning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDK9idTB5xs Lauren's original Youtube version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slgAy6dUpIQ my cover to show hand positions etc Tabbed June 2012 [email protected] I returned to this tab in 2017 and carefully mapped out the first few verses and chorus - it's painstaking because the number of individual fingerpicked notes is significant, and I ran out of steam after a few hours - I left bar version numbers in order to represent the song and you'll have to make do for the moment... Ryan does not use full alternate thumb picking on the baseline, but it holds together better with solo in my opinion as it reproduces the rhythm of the percussion to an extent. INTRO Hold down a C shape and percuss the strings with the side of your finger VERSE1 If it were up to C | Em | E|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
