Suggestion by Hugh Yik (hyik@nb.sympatico.ca)
Use these Chords? I find they sound
better...
CHORDS
G C D B Em
e|--3-0-2---0-|
B|--3-1-3-3-0-|
G|--0-0-2-0-0-|
D|--0-2-0-0-2-|
A|--2-3---2-2-|
E|--3-------0-|
Suggestion from Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)
This is just a small addition to the Brown Eyed Girl tab. First of all, in
reference to Hugh Yik's suggestion - although the open chords sound a bit
better than the barred ones I don't think the chords written above the tab
are actually played in the song, they're just there for reference.
Secondly, this part is played throughout the chorus (listen to the track to
find exactly where):
e |-15----12----------------|
B |----------15-12-15-------|
G |-------------------------|
D |-------------------------|
A |-------------------------|
E |-------------------------|
Between "You, my brown eyed girl", and "Do you remember when", this part is
played once instead of the part above:
e |-15----12----------12----|
B |----------15-12-15----15-|
G |-------------------------|
D |-------------------------|
A |-------------------------|
E |-------------------------|
The entire thing is quite quiet, and may actually be played as harmonics.
Hope this helps,
- Harry
