Astronaut Salem Al Fakir
I tabbed how to play this. Please notice the tuning and look the way to play the
chords correctly. You can play them just the way they are without any change in
the tuning, but it sounds a LOT better my way.
[D] [A] [G] [E7] [Bm] [F#m]
E|----0---------0--------0-------0--------0---------0-----| B|----10--------5--------3-------0--------7---------2-----| G|----11--------6--------4-------1--------7---------2-----| D|----0---------0--------0-------0--------0---------0-----| A|----12--------7--------5-------2--------9---------4-----| D|----12--------7--------5-------2--------9---------4-----|
It sounds nice if you slide from one chord to another without changing the grip
(of course this doesn't work when it's time for Bm or F#m)
