Noah and the Whale - Give a little Love
Standard tuning.
Capo on 1st fret
Chords can be played a few differnt ways.
(fret numbers from capo position. e.g 1 = 2nd fret etc)
Simple 'strumming' way:
C# -0 Fm-0 D#-2 G#-3 G#/G-3
-1 -0 -3 -3 -3
-0 -0 -2 -0 -0
-2 -2 -0 -0 -0
-3 -2 -0 -2 -0
-0 -0 -x -3 -2
The other way (and how they are played on the track) is by playing these on the bottom 3
(low strings) instead of strumming the chord :
(play them for longer/shorter depending on how the long the chord is played)
C# -------2-- -----2-------2--------2-|
--3--------3--------3-------3------|
--3--------3--------3-------3------|
Fm ------5-- -------5---------5--------5-|
-2---------2---------2---------2------|
-0---------0---------0---------0------|
D# ------4-- -------4---------4--------4-|
-5---------5---------5---------5------|
-5---------5---------5---------5------|
G# ------0-- -------0---------0--------0-|
-2---------2---------2---------2------|
-3---------3---------3---------3------|
G# ------0-- -------0---------0--------0-|
