I know there are many versions of Fast Car. However, there are only a few tabs of this song by Boyce Avenue. To me, most of those versions don't quite sound right. And there was not one that I could say was 'perfect'. I did up this tab, which to me, sounds correct.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: beginner
Capo: 3rd fret

great tab, so far the only one that caught the difference between how Chapman and Boyce play the song on the 7 & 5 notes instead of it being 7 on the second string and open on the third and fourth. Great Job!
