This is my first tab and I did it mostly by ear but also with the help of the rest of the great tabs already on this app, I just couldn’t find a tab that had everything sound like the recorded version so I made one myself that is hopefully the most accurate.Was this info helpful?
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: no capo

April - Beach Bunny Full Tabs
 
[Chords]
 
A:        X02220
E:        022100
Dmaj7/A:  X00222
D6:       XXX777
E6:       XXX999
D:        XX0232
Bm:       X14431 (bar chord)
 
[Intro]
A E Dmaj7/A D6 E6 D6
 
Strum A once backwards (up, from
highest string to lowest)
then pluck (while holding that
A chord):
e|----------------------------|
B|------2---------------------|
G|----2---2-------------------|
D|--2-------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
 
Then strum E once
and while holding E add:
(also strum this part
backwards)
e|--2--2--0-------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
 
Then strum Dmaj7/A once
And then while holding Dmaj7/A
pluck:
e|------2---------------------|
B|----2---2-------------------|
G|--2-------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
 
Then strum D6 down x3, up x1,
then down x1 (like DDDUD) or
just down x5 pretty fast
 
Then strum E6 down x3
 
Then strum D6 down x1
 
 
[Verse 1]
Then through the verses it has
that intro riff pretty much
just repeated, so you can
either choose to repeat the
intro through the verse or
just do the chords strumming
along to the beat which I find
easier:
(I use the strumming pattern
DDUDU then do the same strumming
as the intro for the D6 E6 D6 part)
 
A
April showers, rain starts falling
  E
I wish that you would pick up when you
 
know I'm calling
     Dmaj7/A
It's been another year
D6                     E6  D6
Wishing you were here
 
 
[Chorus]
A
Sometimes I just want somebody
E
Someone that reminds me that
 
they'll always love me
Dmaj7/A
Sick of counting tears
D6                    E6  D6
Wishing you were here
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
E                        Dmaj7/A
I wanna be everything you wanted
E
But oftentimes, I just
     Dmaj7/A
get forgotten
A
I'm all alone
 
[Solo]
(1:06-1:24)
The intro is also playing on top
of the solo in the recorded
version

E

Now we're memories
 
 
[Chorus]

             E
What are you up to?
         D                    A
Have you changed your number?
                    E
I've been trying to call you
      D                        A
Since April and now it's October
        E
I'm not overthinkin'
      Bm

And maybe I am just an afterthought
