A fab song that has recently been covered by Greg Laswell which made me want to
learn it. Greg’s take is excellent, tho I still prefer Kate’s version. Greg’s is
in the same key but his timings are quite different.
This is a rework of the other tab on this site which is said to be taken from the
official book. I’ve arranged with a capo because it’s a little easier to play and
it better fits the tone of the original. Aside from that I’ve stripped the
alternative roots away from some of the chords as I honestly can’t tell the
difference when I listen to the track. Also other tabs suggest a few “7” chords
which definitely should have been “maj7” or “6” variations.
I suggest you play the following along with the track for best results…
