Hey guys, I just heard this song a little while ago, and I really liked it. Although
is the only Civil Wars song I'd heard, I decided to give it a shot and learn it by ear.
what I came up with.
Intro/Verse chords:
Dm, Am, Dm, Am, Dm, Am, E7, and then this sequence ends on this chord:
"E4/7(11)"
e|--x----|
B|--10---|
G|--7----|
D|--7----|
A|--7----|
E|--x----|
However, note that this whole song is fingerpicked, so that only certain notes of each
is emphasized. In the E7 chord, the guitarist actually does a little slide up from the Am
then fingerpicks the E7 so that it looks like this:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-civil-wars/252561.html ]
e|------------------|
B|--------9-10~-----|
G|--------7---------|
D|------9---7~~-----|
A|--5/7-----7~~-----|
E|------------------|
---E7---- E4/7(11-|
So there you go. There are little variations for the E7 to E4/7(11) ending in the verse,
I'm not gonna tab that crap out.
For the chorus, it's pretty simple:
Dm, Am, E, Am, Dm, Am, E
... and that's it. Keep in mind that these chords are played up on the neck, not in open
For example, the E chords here are not played as
e|-0-|
G|-0-|
B|-1-|
D|-2-|
A|-2-|
E|-0-|
but as
e|-x-|
G|-9-|
B|-9-|
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|-x-|
So that's it! Please comment and tell me what you think, and keep in mind this is my
attempt at a tablature. Thanks!
