------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LADY WRITER - Dire Straits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Eggs Benedict Email: cordizzle1991@gmail.com Tuning: Standard This is my first tab, but I hope you like it. I looked all over the Internet for tab that had the full song, but the closest I found was the other one on this website. think this sounds right, but experiment with it. (I use some of my own improvised and pull-offs; you can probably tell where...) Rhythm Chords: Solos - Use these chords for rhythm when the solos are playing, only I think that they provide a little more soul and sound because you can just slide from to another right up the neck. A B C#m G#m Am* e|---5---| e|---7---| e|---9---| e|---4---| e|---5---| B|---5---| B|---7---| B|---9---| B|---4---| B|---5---| G|---6---| G|---8---| G|---9---| G|---4---| G|---5---| D|---7---| D|---9---| D|---11--| D|---6---| D|---7---| A|---7---| A|---9---| A|---11--| A|---6---| A|---7---| E|---5---| E|---7---| E|---9---| E|---4---| E|---5---| Rhythm Chords: Verses/Chorus - Use these chords for rhythm when the rest of the is playing with the chorus and the verses. They provide a great sound, but not too great the lead guitarist will be playing these chords as well between the licks. Lead guitar also play these chords. A B C#m F#m E e|---0---| e|---2---| e|---4---| e|---2---| e|---7---| B|---2---| B|---4---| B|---5---| B|---2---| B|---9---| G|---2---| G|---4---| G|---6---| G|---2---| G|---9---| D|---2---| D|---4---| D|---6---| D|---4---| D|---9---| A|---0---| A|---2---| A|---4---| A|---4---| A|---7---| E|---x---| E|---x---| E|---x---| E|---2---| E|---x---| Always use the E, G#m, and F#m chords as barre chords because it seems easier, but for bridge before the first solo (E,B,G#m,F#m) use the "solo B" because you're already on the and 9th frets for the E, so just make the B from that. * The Am is for the rhythm on the verses. Key: / slide up \ slide down h hammer-on p pull-off b bend (hb hold bend) rb release bend (rhb release held bend) ~ vibrato () pre-bend Intro: A B C#m A B C#m e|--------------------------|------7----------------------| B|-------7-4h5-5~-4h5p4-----|--7hb---rhb-7-5h7p5----5-----| G|--4/6~----------------6~--|--------------------6~---6~--| D|--------------------------|-----------------------------| A|--------------------------|-----------------------------| E|--------------------------|-----------------------------| A B C#m A B G#m e|----------------7---------|-----------------------------| B|--------7-5-7hb---rhb-5---|--------5\4------------------| G|--4h5h6-----------------6~|--6\4/6-----6p4------4-6p4-6b| D|--------------------------|----------------6-6~---------| A|--------------------------|-----------------------------| E|--------------------------|-----------------------------| A B C#m Lady writer on the TV, A B C#m Talkin' 'bout the Virgin Mary, A B C#m Reminded me of you, A B G#m Expectations left to come up to, yeah.
