Sing For You by Tracy Chapman
Sing For You
SING FOR YOU – TRACY CHAPMAN-
One, two, three, four
C
Sweet and high at the break of dawn
G
Simple tune that you can hum along too
Am F
I remember there was a time
G
when I used to sing for you
C – G – Am – F – G
Do-n do do, do do
Do-n do do, do do do-do…
G
I used to sing for you
C-G-Am-F-G
Do-n do do, do do
Do-n do do, do do do-do…
C
Knew all the words to the popular songs
G
With the radio on full volume
Am F
I remember there was a time
G
When I used to sing for you
Do-n do do, do do do
Do-n do do, do do do do-do…
I used to sing for you
Do-n do do, do do
Do-n do do, do do do-do…
Am
Forget the chorus, you’re the bridge
G
The words and music to every-day I’ve lived
Dm
There’s nothing, I wouldn’t give
F G
For one more time, when I can sing for you
Do-n do do, do do do
Do-n do do, do do do do - do…
Oh Yeah
Do-n do do, do do do do
Do-n do do, do do do do - do…
C
Soft and low when the evening comes
G
Holding you, sleeping in my arms
Am F
I remember there was a time
G
When I used to sing for you
Do-n do do, do do do do
Do-n do do, do do do do - do…
…when I used to sing for you
Do-n do do, do do do do
Do-n do do, do do do do - do…
G
I used to sing for you.

version 3
Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Structure: P1 P2 P1 P1 P2 P1 P3 P4 P5 P2 P1...
for the right hand fingering you have two choices:
1) either the alternance of middle finger (on the beat) and index finger (upbeat)
This is the fingering typically used in blues picking.
2) or either one finger dedicated to each lower string:
Index finger for the G string,
Middle finger for the B string,
Ring finger for the e string.
Note the bass on the upbeat (instead of on the beat) in the second bar of the chord.
This gives a special pulsation to the song.
