Song: The price of love
Artist: The Everly Brothers
Composers: Don & Phil Everly
Album: In our image
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com)
16th Sept 2016
The main riff is more accurate as shown here,
with the G to A on the end:
E E7 E6 E G A E E7 E6 E G A
||: / / /__/ /__/ | / / /__/ /__/ :||
In the main tab I've shown a simpler way to achieve
the feel of the riff, where an Em to hammered on E
can be just as effective.
I've called it an Em, but you could instead go from
just all open strings to hammering-on the E chord.
In the verses and choruses I also hammer-on the E and
the A chords from open strings. In the choruses,
I've shown an Am and E7, which can be heard clearly
in some live versions, but is almost lost on the
original track, so again, take your choice, you could
just stay on the A and the E if you prefer.
E = 022100 Am = x02210
E7 = 022130 E7 = 022130
E6 = 022120 B = x24442
Em = 022000 D = xx0232
A = x02220 G = 320033
