Song: Something About You Tablature for Guitar

An attempt to improve my chords version of this song.

Not at all perfect, but enough to play something very similar to

the recording.

Fret numbers are referred to a gtr capoed at the 5th fret.

Chord names are the true ones (actually you play the C with a G

fingering and so on). I know it's stupid but this the way it came out.

This the little solo at the beginning (NOT the slide gtr. part)

C C4 C F C

---------------------------------3---2p0-----3---2h0--------------|
---0-1-3-------1-------------1-----1-----------1------3---1p0-----|
-0-----------------2h4-----0---0----------------------------------|
-------------2----------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------|

G G7

------------------------------------------------------------------|
-3-----7----------5---5\--0---------------------------------------|
---------7-----/5---5---------------------------------------------|
----/7------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------|

During the verses I fingerpick something like:

C F G

-------------------|-------------------|------------------|-------|
-----3--------3----|-----1--------1----|-----3-------3----|-------|
-------0--------0--|-------0--------0--|-------2-------2--|-------|
----------0--------|-------------------|-0----------------|-------|
-------------------|-3-----------------|---------0--------|-------|
--3----------------|---------3---------|------------------|-------|

You should try and blend together the two parts (arpeggio & solo);

that's not impossible (I do it), but it's difficult and boring to

tab out.

C

I don't want nobody better off alone

F

I'm sworn to independence

C

My heart is made of stone

G C

But your breaking on thru there's something about you

C

I've been tapping my toes to the way you talk

F C

I've been singing along when I watch the way you walk

G C

I've got to do something about you

G F

I got this place of mine it's nice and quiet

C

And I like it fine

G

I work real hard got no time for you

I've whiskeyed up my coffee cup

F C

I'm sitting here trying not to call you up

G

And it getting to where I don't know what to do

G7 C

Something bout you

SOLO

Dm C

There something about you like distance thunder

Dm C

I can't say I ain't been warned

Dm C

Even if there is no shelter to crawl under

D G

Heavens gonna save me from this storm

C

There's something about you babe I can't shake

F C

There's something about you that's been keeping me awake

G C

The whole night thru something about you

G F

I got this life of mine it's nice and quiet

C

And I like it fine

G

I work real hard got no time for you

I've whiskeyed up my coffee cup

F C

I'm sitting here trying not to call you up

G

And it getting to where I don't know what to do

G7 C

Something bout you

That's all, folks.

I hope it helps.
