Yellow-Live Acoustic
 
What I tabbed is very simple to play,no capo,in standard tuning system,easy to perform
anywhere but sounds great.......
 
**MAIN TRACK IS IN E A D G B Eb(D#) tuning**
 
So u can play in E A D G B Eb(D#) by flatting the high E string to Eb
or, Capo on upper 5 strings in a Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb tuned guitar
or play in standard tuning-= all sound great..
 
[CHORDS]
***THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTNAT PART- chords are played in different manner but more easily..***
B= 7(Fret with left thumb if u can or mute it with thumb) 9 9 8 0 0
F#=2(Fret with left thumb if u can or mute it with thumb) 4 4 3 0 0
E=0 2 2 1 0 0
 
So the thing is, slide the open `E chord form` chord made with freted or muted left thumb middle,ring and
pinky fingers from 7th fret to 2nd then to open E form (whole verse is played like this)
 
G#m= 4(Fret with left thumb if u can or mute it with thumb) 6 6 4 0 0
F#m= 2(Fret with left thumb if u can or mute it with thumb) 4 4 2 0 0
