Dear Mister Fantasy by Traffic
Dear Mister Fantasy
Intro: A G D lick--->into A chord of VERSE 1
lick
e|-----------------------------| where:
B|-----------------------------| 3-3-3 = triplet
G|-----------------------------| b = 1/4 or slight accent bend
D|-----------------0-----------| h = hammer-on
A|----------0---3b---3b--0-----|
E|------0h3--------------------|
3-3-3
note:
Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings. There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a
split second) during the verses. Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.
VERSE 1:
A G
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,
D A lick
Something to make us all happy.
A G
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,
D A lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
VERSE 2:
A G
You are the one who can make us all laugh,
D A lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.
A G
Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,
D A
We wouldn't have known you all these years.
BRIDGE:

version 3
Tuning: Standard
Difficulty: Advanced-If Playing Arpeggios Note For Note
Intermediate-If Playing Chords Or Your Own Arpeggios
NOTE: Times Are Approximate.
NOTE: There Are A Lot Of 1/4 Bends, So If I Just Put 'b' (eg 5b), Just Bend
A Quarter Step. Otherwise, I'll Say Which Note To Bend To.
NOTE: I'm Gonna Tab The Arpeggios In The Intro Only As That Takes Too Damn
Long. After That, I'm Just Giving Chords. You Can See From The Intro The
Sort Of Stuff He Does.
