How Can You Mend A Broken Heart– Bee Gees
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Open D
Bee Gees
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (1971)
(Barry Gibb/Maurice Gibb/Robin Gibb)
From: "Trafalgar"
This song sounds beautiful with an open tuning like Barry Gibb uses it on
the original recording. It is an open D tuning (the strings are tuned down
- so no danger of broken strings!) and then putting a capo on the 2nd fret
to make it sound in E major. The shapes aren’t difficult either – one just
needs a little time to get used to them. I named the chords like you hear
them, so it is easy to just play along in standard tuning, too. Enjoy!
