End Of May – Michael Buble
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Dami (Dee Ay)
Email: dademidun@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard (Capo 2)
*Use fingers preferably, does not sound nearly as good with a pick or thumb pick
that is my opinion)
**Since the song doesn't really have a definitive chorus, I will distinguish the main
as Primary Verse and Secondary Verse
---What you will be playing---
Intro/Primary Verse:
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--2-----2-----3-----3-----2-----2-----3-----3-----2-----2-----3-----3-----2-----2-----3-----3---|
G|--2--2-----2--2--2-----2--2--2-----2--2--2-----2--2--2-----2--2--2-----2--2--2-----2--2--2-----2|
D|--0-----------0-----------0-----------0---------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------0-----------0-----------0-----------0---------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

These patterns are the tab lines used throughout the song. The order/method of how you
the lines in relation to the actual song is as follows:
Intro/Primary Verse (4 times)
Secondary Verse (3 times)
Intro/Primary Verse (4 times)
Secondary Verse (3 times)
Intro/Primary Verse (4 times) - Note that this is the bridge, if you listen closely,
pattern can still be heard as a rhythm part beneath the moving part
Secondary Verse (3 times)
Intro/Primary Verse (2 times, let the last note played ring this time)
Intro/Primary Verse (2 more times normally)
Secondary Verse (3 times, on the third time, only play up to the partial D chord [3-2-0
line] and let that ring)
Intro/Primary Verse (2 times)
Ending chord to finish...
...For the ending chord, I believe it sounds most accurate to slowly strum a D major
without the high e string note and let it ring. However, for me, the way I like to end the
is like this here (strummed slowly as well):
e|-----------0-h-2|
B|--------3-------|
G|-----2----------|
D|--0-------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
And let the notes ring
