Waiting on an Angel Ben Harper
okay, so this is my first tab, hope you like it! i got sick of getting crap for
this song so i decided to make my own!
its easy to play, hard to expalin.
okay so just do wht i say and hopefully it works.
if you have any Q's just shoot me an email at aldykstra55@gmail.com
standard tuning: EADGBe
chords: C X(see chord of that name below) Y (see below) Am F G Estring (see below)
oaky, as for how to play it,
every time you play one of the chords you need to hit one of the strings i tell you too,
then two downstrokes, then next chord.
listen to the song to get an idea of what im saying.
here is the strings you need to hit:
C= A string
F= E string
G= E string
Am= A string
its pretty easy! okay, X and Y are names i always give to chords i dont have a
clue what they are. anyway, this is what they are:
X= |----------------| |-----1--1-------| |-----0--0-------| |----------------| |--2-------------| |----------------| Y= |----------------| |-----1--1-------| |-----2--2-------| |----------------| |----------------| |--0-------------|
Estring: play the estring open while 1st finger is on b string first fret
