Tabbed by DJ 20th Feb 2013
Use any combination of these chord shapes or stick
to one set throughout. I like use the open 4th string
as the drone for most of the song, saving the bottom D
drone until after the break. Hit the bass note first,
then strum the rest of the chord, avoiding the
5th string for the C and Bb chords.
DROPPED 'D' TUNING:
D-A-D-G-B-e
(Tune the 6th string down to D)
I would recommend ignoring the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS
and use the voicings in the text column numbers below.
Dm * = 000231 C/D = xx0553 Am/D = xx0210
Dm = xx0765 Bb/D = xx0331 F/D = xx0565
[Drum Break]
Dm ** = 057765
[On last beat of the break, slide down to Dm *)
[3rd and 4th Choruses]
Dm * = 000231 Bb/D * = 0x0331
C/D * = 0x0010 C/D ** = 0x0553
[Ending]
Dm *** = 0-0-0-10-10-10
