Hope And Validation by Bernard Fanning here is the correct way of playing this amazing song tabbed by ange stella aka indie_lover tune the d string to e tune the g string to a rest of the strings remain the same.. CHORDS- refer to these chords, not the ones Ultimate Guitar has provided for the guitar in a different tuning. i know its a lot to ermember but it is so worth it for this song E e b 9 g 7 d 7 a 7 e B e b 4 g 2 d 2 a 2 e Esus2 e b 7 g 7 d 7 a 7 e Bsus2 e b 2 g 2 d 2 a 2 e A e b 2 g 0 d 0 a 0 e Asus2 e b 0 g 0 d 0 a 0 e E7/D e b 9 g 5 d 5 a 5 e G e 3 b 3 g x d x a 2 e 3 A e b 2 g 0 d 0 a 0 e C# e b 6 g 4 d 4 a 4 e intro- Esus2, E, Esus2, E, B, Bsus2, A, Asus2 Esus2, E e------------------| b7h9-9-9-9-7h9-----| g7-7-7-7-7-7-7-----| d7-7-7-7-7-7-7-0---| a7-7-7-7-7-7-7-0---| e------------------| B, Bsus2 e--| b4-2 g2-2 d2-2 a2-2 e--| A, Asus2 b2-0-0 g0-0-0 d0-0-0 a0-0-0 e----| repeat this throughout the verse until chorus Chorus-[ch]E[/ch], [ch]B[/ch] x2 [ch]E[/ch], [ch]E7[/ch]/[ch]D[/ch], [ch]G[/ch], [ch]A[/ch] whenever you play the G in this song, be really careful you dont hit the uptuned strings it sounds crap. Instrumental- [ch]G[/ch], [ch]A[/ch], [ch]E[/ch], [ch]B[/ch], [ch]G[/ch], [ch]A[/ch], [ch]E[/ch], [ch]C#[/ch] then go to verse Outro- think weve seen enough now partb is... [ch]E[/ch], [ch]B[/ch], [ch]A[/ch] x4 then end on [ch]E[/ch] it sounds better to play the intro for this part, but this is how its played on the record END ON E listen to song for structure, thats all u have to figuire out.!! tabbed by ange stella aka indie_lover www.TAB6.com
