Artist: Orla Gartland Song: North Pole Bank Website: www.facebook.com/OrlaGartland This work is only the artists (version a) and then my own interpretation of the song (version b). All copyright to Orla - you can also find the chords and tabs on her Facebook-page. I will put in two different versions the first is the chord/strumming version without the little flicks in the start. Orla states that it's capo 4 and Chorus: C-G-Am-F Every other part: Am-C-F-G ================================= I, however, play it a little different. I see her having the capo on 4 on the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14-gjqhKIdA) but simply don't find the sound fitting on my guitar - for some wierd reason. Yes, I am in standard tuning (EADGBE). So usually I would go for "this version" when I play it: I think this sound pretty accurate: Capo 3 Intro a Am C G F E|-------------------------------2---------------------| B|----2--2--------1--1-----------0---0---1-------------| G|----2--2--2-----0--0--0-------0-----0--2-------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------| A|-0-----0----2-3----3---------------------------------| E|-----------------------------3---------1-------------| Little nice flick E|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|-0--3--2--0---------| E|------------1--0----| Intro b Am C G F E|-------------------------------2---------------------| B|----2--2--------1--1-----------0---0---1-------------| G|----2--2--2-----0--0--0-------0-----0--2-------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------| A|-0-----0----2-3----3---------------------------------| E|-----------------------------3---------1-------------| (Verse) Continues until #END OF FINGERSTYLE# where a single-strum G will be played directly after the fingerstyle C.

This is my no means my work - just my idea of how to play the song :) Any corrections to jinoh@live.dk  |
