Amazing song. Amazing singer.
Tabbed by: Ryan Peterson
This song is just a simple chord progression in 2 different keys with some finger picking.
The patterns of finger picking is pretty much always the same, so you can figure it out.
Example Pattern for C chord:
e|--------------------------|
B|---1-------1----1-------1-|
G|-------0------------0-----|
D|---2-----2------2-----2---|
A|-3---3--------3---3-------|
E|--------------------------|
So once you can do that, the whole song is just a simple progression of:
C Dm G
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/rilo-kiley/84493.html ]
There is a little variation with the G chord when she sings "Be my guest"/"I wish you
which goes:
e|-3-1-0-----|
B|-------0h1-|
G|-----------|
D|-----------| And then back into the C
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
However, halfway through the song, the key shifts a half step up while still finger
So your new chords are (I like to play them barred, there might be other ways to play these):
C# D#m G#
e|-4-| e|-6-| e|-4-|
B|-6-| B|-7-| B|-4-|
G|-6-| G|-8-| G|-5-|
D|-6-| D|-8-| D|-6-|
A|-4-| A|-6-| A|-6-|
E|-4-| E|-6-| E|-4-|
That's it. Have fun.
