Autor hudby: Ben Harper | Okay, here is the correct way to play this song. Lots of tab versions, with parts close but,
no one got the chorus right. And what the heck, while at it, I threw in the chords too. On
acoustic, if playing solo, you can play these chords instead of just hitting 1 note at
a time. It sounds great. When playing Alone alone, I use just notes for Intro, Pre-Chorus,
and Post Chorus riffs. In the Verse and Chorus I use the chords. For those, follow the tabs
and hit the bassnote on the E string then strum down-up-down-up's as indicated on strings
A, D, G, and optional B - following the A string lead below. It should be easy enough to
figure out. Enjoy/comment/rate!
Tuning: Recommend D Tuning (one whole step down)
* However, I'm displaying/listing in std tuning for simplification
Chords:
A/E = 0-12--x-14--x-x
G/E = 0-10--x-12--x-x
F#/E = 0--9--x-11--x-x
E/E = 0--7--x--9--x-x
C = 8-10-10-(9)-x-x
B = 7--9--9-(8)-x-x
A = 5--7--7-(6)-x-x
Gmmaj7 = 3--x--4-(3)-x-x (may list in places as Gmm7 for room)

*END*
Great song. Beginners, you should be able to play this if you know the song pretty well. I
would recommend just playing the notes, no chords, as in the tabs. Where 4 notes are shown on
the 5th (A) string it, you can use 2 to get the rhythm down. Then, move to 3 notes and
graduate to 4. Very fun song and it is great for both fretting and picking accuracy while
trying to keep a clean rhythm going.
Example of the Intro/Verse riff using chords:
(Yes, I know this isn't how the song is played, but give it a try. I think you'll like it.)
V = hard down
v = quick down
u = quick up
A/E G/E F#/E G/E
V v--u--v--u V v--u--v--u V v--u--v--u V v--u--v--u
e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|----14-14-14-14---12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11---12-12-12-12--|
D|----x--x--x--x----x--x--x--x----x--x--x--x----x--x--x--x---|
A|----12-12-12-12---10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9----10-10-10-10--|
E|--0-------------0-------------0-------------0--------------|
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

G|------(9)---(9)----(9)-(9)--------(8)---(8)----(8)---(8)---|
D|----10-10-10-10-----10--10------9--9--9--9------9-----9----|
A|----10-10-10-10-----10--10------9--9--9--9------9-----9----|
E|--8-------------8-------------7-------------7--------------|
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Then the same idea for the chorus chords. |
