Come On Sister Chords & Tabs
COME ON SISTER
by Belle & Sebastian
from the album 'Write About Love'
tabbed by drew (iamdrew@gmail.com)
lots of catchy synth in this song. the chords i've written out try to
follow both the bass and the melody, but in some places it's a toss up
whether you want that or not. in either case, i've made it as detailed
as i can. as such, it's completely up to you. :)
as for the "if you touch me you can never go back" part, it's tricky.
i hear a C bass all the way through with only the synth funking it up.
you might have luck with an Fmaj7 if you're really not into my attempt.
enjoy though, i couldn't believe there wasn't a tab for this amazing
song already. super-cute.
