okay so i know so many people have tabbed 'skin' before... four times to be precice...
my opinion is that the other tabs have been so so close to being right, but are getting
chord wrong, you dont have to belive me but i think i got it 99.9% correct.
so the main chords are Em, G, C, Dadd6add9 --->(this chord is D in a lower key and
much better than using just 'D' and really works for the song.)
so if you aren't sure what Dadd6add9 is... here you are...
e-----|
b-----|
g--2--|
d-----| simple aint it!?
a-----|
e--2--|
and for the struming, play the way Alexz does in the song... i play it down, down, down
down, down up, down down and repeat for the verses ...
(spaced it so theres no confusion)
and down, down up down, down up down up, down down and repeat for the chorus.
just make sure you know the song or the strumming will be quite the conundrum for you.
so enjoy this wonderful song!
intro- Em, G, C, Dadd6add9
verse 1-
Em
I drift away to a place

so what you had didn't fit
