Play Me A Sad Song by Jerry Landis
Play Me A Sad Song
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Key of D
4/4 time
(I–vi–iv–V) Doo-Wop
D Major (bass Line)
There are two guitars being played.
One is an acoustic which is just playing only the chords.
The other is an electric playing what I have tabbed out.
It may be difficult to play just by reading where the chords are place according
to the lyrics.
so don't worry about the placement. just play in strict 4/4 time, and you will be
fine.
#/ are "numbered bars" that are put next to lyrics to identify the
corresponding chord/bass line progression to be played with the lyrics.
|: :| are put under Tabs to show the start and end of a "numbered bar"
v = Down-stroke
^ = Up-stroke
