Wish I Stayed Ellie Goulding
I kinda have 2 versions that have been cobbled together from other peoples tabs
and videos so I really cannot take credit at all for any of these whatsoever,
they're just everything I've seen put into some versions.
The first one is pretty fool proof :) Fiddle around with a capo if you want to, it works well on 3
Verse/Intro

Basically play an Am and a C but just plucking those strings and then at the
chorus play Am, C and G:
With that [C]skipping rope, the [Am]trampoline
The [G]crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the [C]simple ways, of [Am]getting paid
The [G]carelessnes of running away
Mute the G here
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed etc..
For the "I don't own my clothes but I own my mind etc.." bit, play the tabby bit
above but all the strings shown together like:
C (XXX01X)
Am(XXX21X)
And only pluck them once:)
I don't [C]own my [C]clothes but i [Am]own my [Am]mind
And it's [C]not what you've [C]lost
But it's [Am]what you [Am]find. etc...
The second version, I think, is a bit better sounding :)
|------4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--4--0--| |------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--2--2--| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----------| |---------------------------------------------------| |------0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--0--0--| |------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--2--2--| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----------| |---------------------------------------------------|
At the chorus play E and a retarded Am (X06650) so it goes like this:
With that [E]skipping rope, the trampoline
The [Am]crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the [E]simple ways, of getting paid
The [Am]carelessnes of running away
Mute the Am here
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed etc..
Similarly to the first version play the strings that are pressed down in the chords:
E (X221XX)
Am (XX665X)
I don't [E]own my [E]clothes but [Am]i own my [Am]mind
And it's [E]not what you've [E]lost
But it's [Am]what you [Am]find. Etc.
I know this all may be a bit confusing, so I really do apologise!!
Hopefully it is helpful though:)
I have a few other sh!ttier versions so facebook message me for those if you want
them or indeed need help in understanding this :/
