Turning Tables Adele
This is how I play this beautiful song with the guitar.
All the picking in the world cannot make up for the amazing piano though.
This is the best I could do to replicate it.
PM me if you have any questions or suggestions.
The real tune would require a capo on the 8th fret.
I keep it on the 5th because I wouldn't be able to sing those high notes
even if I practiced for 100 years. So I guess it's up to you...
D/G=(200233)
Em7=(022033)
Cadd9(x32033)
Capo 5th fret

Under haunted skies I see you, ooh
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down

[G]Standing on my own two f[D/G]eet
