Del Amitri - Tell Her This Chords & Tabs

NB - This is the way I worked it out ages ago - I duet it with a friend who plays it
in version 3 and they complement each other really well. I'm not sure if it's like they
it on the record but it's easier than v3 and it works on its own too. There are a lot of
in here which are personal embellishments but they work well to simulate bass guitar
when playing on only one guitar. If you don't want to keep them in it's easy enough to
out which are essential. Quaver (1/8) beats are underneath chords when no lyrics present.
