Sometimes The Wheels
View chords used in this chart
Tabbed by: Steve L
Tuning: Standard, no capo (although I've seen him play it with
Capo on 1st fret)
Notes:
My 1st tab!
Love the song and couldn't find a tab so did this myself.
The picking needs to be pretty quick and fluid.
The picking for the verse/Chorus is pretty much the same, follow the chords on the lyrics.
The (0) is optional on the verse, sometimes played, sometimes not.
The C/G chord when picking is your C shape and hitting the G note on the bottom E string.
If you were strumming this would be a quick G chord.
