Song: A picture of you
Artist: Joe Brown and The Bruvvers
Composers: John Beveridge and Peter Oakman
Tabbed by: DJ
22th Oct 2014
Based on a live performance video of Joe Brown at this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqrCGsDFmcM
The song starts at[3:02]
(N.B. The original 1962 record is a bit flat of concert pitch.
To match that version use a chromatic tuner, and detune all
the strings down by approx. Minus 30)
[Intro chords]
G = xxx787 G# = xxx898
F# = xxx676 A/E = 002220
A * = x-x-x-9-10-9
[Verse chords]
A = x02220 D = xx0232 Asus2 = x02200
G = 320033 C#m = x46654 C = x13331
E = 022100 Bm = x24432 Csus2 = x13311
E7 = 022130 F#m = 244222
^ = Emphasise the beat
In the coda riff in the live version there is an E to A,
(or possibly just an A/E to A) to finish with.
On the original record Joe just stays on the A chord.
Please remember to star rate this tab, thanks

In the night there are sights to be seen,

But the only sight I want to view... (Wah - oo!)

...Is that wonderful picture of you!
[Verse 2]

On a streetcar, or in the ca - fe,

All of the evening, and most ...of the day,

My mind is in a maze, what can I do? (Wah - oo!)

...I still see ...that picture of you!
