Forever Roy Harper
[Song: Roy Harper "Forever"]<br/> [Transcription by Gordon Walker ]<br/> <br/> This is something I haven't posted before I think - especially for you<br/> finger-picking tab readers. I've never seen Roy play this, and wonder<br/> exactly what he does becuase the way I do this, the harmonics at the end<br/> don't work out (so I've left them out of this!). <br/> I did have a version which was almost impossible to play in G (and you <br/> needed very long fingers for!) for which the harmonics did work bt never<br/> found a compromise. Roy well have played this on open tuning but that<br/> makes it (a) incredibly boring to play and (b) the harmonics still don;t<br/> work!<br/> <br/> Gordon<br/> --<br/> <br/> Forever<br/> -------<br/> <br/> <br/> E|------------0---|2-----2---0-----|----------------|----------------|<br/> B|--0---3---------|----------------|3-------3-0-----|----------------|<br/> G|2---------------|----------------|----------------|2---------------|<br/> D|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-----------|<br/> A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0---4-2-|<br/> We're spin -ning leaves in the flight of a dawn little<br/> just<br/> E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> B|----0-3---0-2---|3---------------|0-----0---------|0-----0---------|<br/> G|--2-------------|----------------|--2^0-----2^0---|--2^0-----2^0---|<br/> D|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|<br/> A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|<br/> girl passing an et-ternal of<br/> through hori zon<br/> <br/> E|----------------|----------------| <br/> B|----0-3---0-2---|3---------------| <br/> G|--2-------------|----------------| <br/> D|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| <br/> A|----------------|----------------| <br/> D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------| <br/> time<br/> <br/> E|----------0-----|2-----------2---|3-----------2---|0---------------|<br/> B|--0---3---------|----------------|----------------|------------3---|<br/> G|2---------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> D|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|<br/> A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|<br/> But we sit here I'd like to think that<br/> as<br/> <br/> E|0^2---0---------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> B|----------3-----|0-----3---0-----|--3-------------|----------------|<br/> G|----------------|----------------|2---------------|----------------|<br/> D|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-----------|<br/> A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|<br/> D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0---4-2-|<br/> all got will be ours for - ev-er<br/> we've <br/> <br/> E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| <br/> B|----0-3---0-2---|3---------------|0-----0---------|0-3-------------| <br/> G|--2-------------|----------------|--2^0-----2^0---|----------------| <br/> D|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| <br/> A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| <br/> D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------| <br/> don't think for-ev-er?
