What You Gonna Do

Joan Osborne
Tab
4.6(4)

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

repeat intro

[bridge]:

Gm Bb Cm

I am riding on the bus I am working at my job

F Gm

I am calling out your name I am standing at your door

Gm Bb Cm

I am counting out the money I am carrying my child

F Gm

I am coming down your driveway I am giving you a chance

chorus

x is strum, but mute the strings at the neck

h is a hammer on

p is a pull off

/ is a SLIDE UP throughout this tab- there no chords with non-root notes

in the bass, so "Gm/Bb" is Gm at the 3rd fret, then slide up to Bb at the

6th and NOT Gm with Bb in the bass, same goes for Bb/Cm and F/Gm

chords

I've tabbed most of this song out, but it'll be ages before I get to key

it all in. Here's a couple of the main picked parts(* and + in the

chorus), if you want the full monty in tab then send me a mail.
