Song: Give a little bit

Artist: Supertramp

Composers: Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson

Album: Even in the quietest moments

Tabbed by: DJ 26th Dec 2018

FINE TUNING:

The original album track is quite sharp. To match the

pitch closer, using a chromatic tuner, tune all the

strings up by +25 cents above standard pitch.

Alternatively, use a live version.

Here Roger has a capo on the 1st fret, but is already

tuned down a half-step, his capo just there to bring

it back up to standard pitch again, a common practise

with 12 string guitars to take a bit of pressure off

of the neck

I would recommend using the voicings in the

chord legend text column numbers below.
