Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: none
Please bear with me as this is the only TAB I’ve ever attempted. I’ve only been
playing for about a year and most of those have been spent playing and listening
to Ani! I don’t even know if the tuning is correct but it seems to work when I
play along with the recording. Please send suggestions if you have them.
Notes on how to play it: Bass notes with thumb alternated with bar chords plucked
upwards with I, M, R fingers.
TAB:
Intro and between verses (Improvise bass notes and other con”finger”ations!)
Repeat as necessary. Pause before continuing.

Verse: Slow and dramatic (Very simplified version of Intro) Repeat as necessary
with variations in sharply plucked bass notes and chords and regular finger
tapping (X) on guitar top.

I think there’s a transition that has these chords descending.
This part replaces the last chord form from, A/s5, shown above as transition to
the next part. Pause before continuing.
D |-----5--------|
A |-----5------5-|
G |-----5--or--5-|
D |------------5-|
A |--------------|
D |-s6-----------|
This part is a doubled-up fast paced version of the first line.
D |---0-0-0---0---3-3-3--3---2-2-2---2------3-3-3-------------------|
A |---0-0-0---0---3-3-3--3---2-2-2---2------3-3-3-------------------|
