N.B. Alun plays harmonics on the first 4 bars while Cat plays the Bouzouki style
intro riff.
Intro:
(G) (D7) (G) (G) (D7) (G)
e|-----------------------|---------------------------| B|-----------------------|---------------------------| G|---12*---------12*-----|---12*-----------12*-------| D|--------12*------------|---------------------------| A|-----------------------|---------------------------| E|-----------------------|---------------------------|
(* Harmonics)
(G) (D7) (G) (G) (D7) (G)
e|-----------------------|---------------------------| B|-----------------------|---------------------------| G|---12*---------12*-----|---12*-----------12*-------| D|-----------------------|---------------------------| A|-----------------------|---------------------------| E|-----------------------|---------------------------|
(* Harmonics)
In the breaks and also verses 1, 4, 7 and 10, Alun fingerpicks a quick G to G4 pattern
(shown below), throughout the whole of these verses,and also whenever Cat is playing
the G to D7 pattern, at the end of all the other verses.
Play the G chord shape and then add the suspended 4th with the little finger.
Use the Thumb to pick the D & G strings,and Ring/Middle fingers to pick the B & E
strings.
e|--------3--------3--------3-----| B|----3--------3--------3-----3---| G|------4--------5--------4-----4-| D|--5--------5--------5-----------| A|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|
In verses 2 & 3, 5 & 6, 8 & 9, and 10 to 12, Alun uses the same style picking
moved up to a C chord:
e|----------8-----------8----------8---| B|-----8----------8-----------8--------| G|--------9----------10----------9-----| (x3) D|--10---------10----------10----------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------|
Then this bar is a link:
e|--------------5-----------------5----| B|-------5-----------------7-----------| G|-----------5----------------5--------| D|----7----------------7---------------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------|
Then back to the G to G4 picking pattern...
