--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe Tonight – The Knack --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard The Knack Maybe Tonight (1978) (Doug Fieger) From: "Get the Knack" I have always liked this beautiful song! When I sat down to transcribe it I noticed that there is something strange about the A-chord in the verses: If my ears don’t deceive me, the rhythm guitar plays a major chord in the first half and a minor in the second. In the second verse the lead guitar even plays a minor line (starting off from a “c”) over this major chord, thus creating a strange tension there. The solo on the other hand (which uses the verse structure) has Am both times, I think. If you don’t hear it that way, just use Am throughout in the verses. Comments are highly welcome! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS and special voicings E-A-D-G-B-E G/F# 2-x-0-0-0-3 Gm7 3-x-0-3-3-1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO G G/C G/B G/A G G/B G/A 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|------------0---|--0-------------|------------0---|--0-------------| D|----0-----0-----|----------0-----|----0-----0-----|----------0-----| A|--------23(h)-2-|------0---------|--------23(h)-2-|------0---------| E|3-----3---------|------------0-2-|3-----3---------|------------0-2-|(3) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO (see above) | G G/C | G/B G/A | G G/C | G/B G/A | G G/F# Em I don't know why A7 A7 C I never said it before G G/F# Em I don't know why Am Am C I waited so long to be sure [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/k/knack/377514.html ] Gm7 But I ...
