Tab

4) Any time I have separated two chords with a | (as in D | A), that means that we are dealing with more than one measure. So, in the above example, you would play a D chord for one measure (using whatever rhythm) and then play an A chord for one measure. I just did this so I wouldn't have to write out in TAB chords for which I don't know the rhythm. 5) The C and B chords in the bridge should be A-form barre chords. 6) I saw the Go-Go's live in Virginia, for the 1994 WHFS-mas Holiday Nutcracker (with Vicki Peterson of the Bangles on guitar!), and they didn't have a keyboard - Vicki played all the piano parts on guitar. I'd like to think that she read my original post of this song to learn it, but I'm sure that wasn't the case. BTW, they were terrific, easily one of the best live bands I've ever seen. 7) As always, Belinda Carlisle's voice is way too high for more mere mortals to reproduce. Don't hurt yourself. "Head Over Heels" (Kathy Valentine/Charlotte Caffey) Performed by the Go-Go's From the album _Talk_Show_ (or _Return_To_The_Valley_Of_The_Go-Go's_ or _Greatest_Hits_, but if TS is available on CD, I'd highly recommend it, though _Return_ is mighty damn good) Transcribed by Marc Hirsh with absolutely no permission Notation: s - sixteenth note e - eighth note q - quarter note h - half note w - whole note . - play note for one and a half times the value before it (just like a dot in standard notation) ^ - ties two note lengths together NOTE LENGTHS IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN REST FOR THAT VALUE OF TIME! / - slide up \ - slide down h - hammer-on p - pull-off (guitar 1) E-2-2-------------|-----------------|-2-2-------------|-----------------
