HOSTILES - Damon Albarn
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: EADGBe (Standard)
NOTE - True to the album version, but slightly different than Damon playing it live. He doesn't play the bass
notes as he is accompanied by a piano and orchestra for the bass.

Fin!
Hope you enjoy playing this typically beautiful Damon Albarn melody! Please comment/contact me
for further clarifications.
EDIT - Play the following very fast in the chorus with a second guitar to mimic the piano playing
in the background:
G|---11-----------------14----------------16-----------------14------------|
D|------(16 times)---------(8 times)---------(24 times)---------(16 times)-| (x2 times)
A|-9-----------------12----------------18-----------------12---------------|
It is best to listen to the studio version for this part and then try and play it. This is
because during the final 2 note arrangements, the pianist goes a bit slower. Not absolutely
necessary to play this, but if you have 2 guitars, it will sound nicer playing this in the
background in the chorus. Have fun!
