If I Were A Boy Tab

Other Versions work with a 1/2 step tuned down Guitar. I tabbed a version with a Capo which allows it to play notes that aren't mentioned in previous TABS but actually are part of the song, as you can see in piano sheet notes for example. I also added the 2nd guitar for the verse (when the drums play), which I didn't see in any previous post, and Chords that sound closer to the song. Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Capo: 2nd fret

We have an official If I Were A Boy tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Lots of versions of this song out there, few of them mention that its actually
played in D# minor. And I couldnt find a version that comes really close to the
actual notes being played. This Tab might be a little harder to play but comes
closer to the original.
 
- You need a CAPO ON 2!
- The TAB is relative to Capo
- the Chord names above the TAB are the actual Chord names
