Nicole, by Gravenhurst

From the album 'Fires in Distant Buildings', and from the soundtrack to 'This is England'.

Tabbed by Andy R (andyjmr@hotmail.com)


Notes
=====
Standard tuning.

Capo on the 4th Fret. The notes and chords are relative to the capo.

Song is in 3/4 time (3 beats per bar).

It takes some practice to play and sing at the same time, as some notes and vocals are 
before or after the beat
(it was written using triplets, giving it that "swing" feeling). Try playing it slowly 
first to get a feel for it,
then start adding vocals and getting up to speed. The second verse is sung differently 
the first. You need to hear
the song a few times to get the hang of it.

If you want a better understanding of the triplet timing, check out the tab I made using 
Pro.
It's on ultimate-guitar.com  ... Guitar Pro is a free demo download if you need it.

The first 8 bars of the verse are identical to the second 8. I tabbed them out in full 
it makes the lyrics look
a lot neater.


Tablature
=========
(0) - a note in brackets means play it very lightly.
(x) - a dead note, play it muted
 h  - hammer on
 p  - pull off


Song Structure
==============

Intro - play the first 8 bars of the verse twice

Verse
Chorus
Verse
Chorus - instead of the last bar, just hit the 6th string on the 3rd fret

Bridge

Chorus - minus the last bar
Chorus - minus the last 2 bars

Coda - play the last part of the chorus ("from the moment we met" etc) - but instead of 
last 2 bars
       just play an open 2nd string.


I hope you enjoy it!
