Alone In This Bed Chords & Tabs
This is how I play the song. I don't do any picking or anything close to what Tim (the
player who played guitar on their first album) does, picking wise. But these are the
he is picking through and I just strum the chords. This song is a waltz, in 3/4 so the
pattern is a little tricky at first. I play down, down, up, up. It's hard to explain
most of the time in this song you play the chord two measures long. So, technically the
could be in 6/8 which is counted exactly the same but the measures are doubled. None of
ever really made sense to me, but 3/4 and 6/8 are counted the same for the most part. I
some of that made some sense :D I'm sorry I'm not good at explaining strumming
or keeping time. But it makes sense in my head, just not in words I guess…sorry. I guess
can just figure out the strumming to what you think is good…I'll shut up now…
