Toms Diner

Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: F#mCapotraste: 2nd traste Song: Tom's Diner Artist: Suzanne Vega Composer: Suzanne Vega Album: Solitude standing Tabbed by DJ 25th Sept 2014 Original 'a Cappella' track at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9x-DENKIts DNA version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4jtIDaeaWI The original album track was sung 'a cappella', and there have been many alternative dance mixes and various live and acoustic versions since. This is my own interpretation for acoustic guitar accompaniment. ===================================================== I've included TWO VERSIONS. The first one is like the DNA mix, which took the original Coda and repeated it as Choruses. The second one is just the Verses with a Coda, as in the original a cappella version. CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the original recorded key of F#m) I would recommend using the voicings in the text column numbers below. Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the information at the bottom of the tab. Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo Emadd9 = 022002 or 024000 G6 = 355400 Cmaj7 = x32000 or x35000 Fmaj7#11 = 133200 B7 = x21202 Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== DNA MIX VERSION with Choruses: [Chorus] (Emadd9) Da - da!
