Sunny Side of Heaven

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

I wanted to play this song and realized there was no tab out there.

And good thing! It was easy enough for me to figure out, so I made

some real progress in realizing my personal abilities, but for researchers

out there, this is my take.

DISCLAIMER: Sometimes certain parts were a bit muffled under the other

instruments, I slowed the song attempted for the best precision possible

by ear, and this is what I came up with.

Your advice and corrections are always welcomed.

Without further ado, here she is:

Guitar 2: It is here I hope to show the overlapping main riff

over the descending except there is a change to the

main. Just this riff is repeated over the desencending

from this point onward.

Guitar 2's "Bridge":

This part was a bit tricky to decipher from the recording,

but It will work quite satisfyingly with the chords. The

endings after the stars are most ambiguous and seem to be

very lightly played as a sort of drift into the next round.

G#m A E G#m A E

|-------------------------------------------------------*-----|
|-----------7h9-7h9p7-5---------------------------------*-----|
|-4---4h6-4-------------6h8p6-4-------4-6/8-6-----------*----4|
|---6---------------------------6-4-----------7-6h7p6---*456--|
|-----------------------------------7-----------------7-*-----|
|-------------------------------------------------------*-----|

Slight variation on the ending on the second time around:

|-------------------------------------------------------*-----|
|-----------7h9-7h9p7-5---------------------------------*-----|
|-4---4h6-4-------------6h8p6-4-------4-6/8-6-----------*-----|
|---6---------------------------6-4-----------7-6h7p6---*-----|
