Artist: Mumford And Sons
Song: I Gave You All
Album: Sigh No More (2009)
This is the tab for I Gave You All by Mumford And Sons. Sounds pretty right to me! Enjoy!
***NOTE: When I put an asterisk (*) next to a number, that means play the pattern one
full time, then going to the second time on the pattern just pluck the two strings
together and don't finish pattern, move on.
When I put an upward arrow thing (^) next to a number, that means just pluck those two
strings indicated at the same time, and do not go into the pattern.
D Tuning: DADFAD
No Capo
Picking Pattern:
|--------------|
|--------------|
|-x-----------x|
|--------x-----|
|--------------|
|-x---x-----x--|
Pick that pattern fast.
Main Riff:
|---|---|---|---|
|---|---|---|---|
|-5-|-4-|-2-|-0-|
|---|---|---|---| Play pattern 2 times at each interval. So like fingers with
|---|---|---|---| your fingers on five play the pattern twice at 5, then go
|-5-|-3-|-2-|-0-| down
Riff 1 (When I have the "x_" that's how many times you do the pattern each):
|---|---|----|----|---|---|---|---|
|---|---|----|----|---|---|---|---|
|-5-|-4-|-11-|-12-|-5-|-4-|-2-|-0-|
|---|---|----|----|---|---|---|---|
|---|---|----|----|---|---|---|---|
|-5-|-3-|-10-|-12-|-5-|-3-|-2-|-0-|
x2 x1 x1 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2
Riff 2 (Reference NOTE section at top of tab for key):
|----|----|---|----|---|---|---|---|
|-12-|-10-|-8-|-10-|-3-|-5-|-7-|-3-|
|----|----|---|----|---|---|---|---|
|----|----|---|----|---|---|---|---|
|----|----|---|----|---|---|---|---|
|-12-|-10-|-8-|-10-|-3-|-5-|-7-|-3-|
x2* x1^ x2* x1^ x1^ x1^ x1^ x2
This is played exactly like the pattern except use the high F & A strings instead of the
middle D & F strings.
