Prodigal Me Shane Barnard & Shane Everett Key: E tabbed & chorded by weksa contact: [email protected] tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMt13nKWUHM *This tab+chord sheet focuses on Shane B's guitar from the live performance at Barry's Coffee House, Waco, TX, 2001. *Cut capo on 2nd fret (However, a normal capo could be used if you mute the proper strings) Chords relative to cut capo. No chords will involve fretting in the same fret as the capo, so "0"s on the 6E, 2B, and 1e strings = play open. *The (0) shown on the first A chord means that you don't really need to play it, because it's the same note as the 3 on the B string. I personally don't pick it, but if strumming then I'll include it. I leave the 0 in the rest of the chord sheet, just for simplicity. *To distinguish between the two D's, I name them D1 and D2. Alternate Picking Pattern (if too hard, just focus on strumming the chords): D1 D2 e|-------5-------5-------5---------------5-------5-------5----------| B|-----------7-------7-------7---7-----------5-------5-------5---5--| G|-7---7-------7-------7-------7---6---6-------6-------6-------6----| D|-0-------------------------------0--------------------------------| A|-0-------------------------------0--------------------------------| E|-0-------------------------------0--------------------------------| d _ d u _ u d u _ u d u _ u d u d _ d u _ u d u _ u d u _ u d u G/B A riff e|-------2-----2h3---3---3---2--------------------------------------| B|-----------3-------------------3-------3--------------------------| G|-0---0--------------(3)-(3)-(3)--2---------2---2------------------| D|-0-------------------------------2---2-------2---------0-2-4-2-0--| A|-2-------------------------------0---------------0-2-4------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------| d _ d u _ u d _ _ u _ u _ u d u d _ d u _ u d u d u d u d u d u Intro/1st part of verse: D1 D2 G/B A riff that's used in various places e|-5----5----2---h3---(0)----------------------------------------| B|-7----5----3----3----3-----------------------------------------| G|-7----6----0----0----2-----------------------------------------| D|-0----0----0----0----2----------0-2-4-2-0----------------------| A|-0----0----2----2----0----0-2-4--------------------------------| E|-0----0--------------------------------------------------------| 2nd part of verse: Bm A G/B A e|---2----2----0---0----2---h3----0------------------------------| B|---3--2h3----3---3----3----3----3------------------------------| G|---4----4----2---2----0----0----2------------------------------| D|---4----4----2-0h2----0----0----2------------------------------| A|-0h2----2----0---0----2----2----0------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus: D A G/B A repeat... e|--5----0----2---h3----0----------------------------------------| B|--3----3----3----3----3----------------------------------------| G|--2----2----0----0----2----------------------------------------| D|--0----2----0----0----2----------------------------------------| A|-(0)---0----2----2----0----------------------------------------| E|-(0)-----------------------------------------------------------| These zeros are in parentheses because I think Shane B mutes them, letting Shane E's guitar play the bass notes. Since I play by myself, I would play the base notes.
