Emmylou by Vance Joy
Emmylou
Standard Tuning, No Capo
My first Tab ever here guys, and I'm kinda wined up, so feel free to correct as you will.
Vance plays F, F, Am, G throughout the entire song. Obviously there's picking involved
but I'm too pissed to make a decent attempt at tabbing it out. It's a basic strum
pattern, with a hammer on the 4th (G) string 2nd fret
Verse 1-
Oh, if you're losing sleep,
h if you're losing sleep, scared of shadows
I see it's just a chair,
See you're clothes hang there
Don't go losing sleep scared of shadows.
Chorus -
Oh don't feel bad
I never have
Since I got you
My Emmylou
Verse 2-
You wear your socks to bed
You wear your socks to bed, that's what I do
Oh come on sleepyhead, get yourself to bed,
Don't go losing all the night time
Chorus x1
You are Love
x4
(Picking)
You are love
x4 (over Chorus)

version 4
---Standard tuning
No capo
---Set tempo on 0.8
---The song consists of only 3 chords : F, Am and G.
I guess it is not necessary to explain the chords any further.
---Almost throughout the entire song he plays this riff, again and again:
F F

E|-------------------------|-3-------3--3---3------3-|
---In live versions he leaves out the first hammer-on in the Am-sequence. He plays
a simple -0- there instead.
---At the end of each part of the song(verse, chorus) he plays the alternative
G (further only G*)instead of the usual G-sequence and makes a short pause at the end
of it.
G* (let it ring)

the whole riff twice for the INTRO.

--- The strumming pattern is :

---Do all the hammer-ons on the 4th Down. He sometimes plays the Am differently,
releasing all the strings for the last DU.

BRIDGE__________________________________________
---In the bridge he plays F sequence without hammer-ons and with a strumming pattern:
DD UDU. He repeats the pattern 4 times, then he proceeds to Am and G that are played
as I described before. In the rest of the song he plays the F with the hammer-ons
and with the same pattern as the other chords.
F Am G
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
---Do the same with the other three:
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
---Do one additional down-stroke at the end and then make a short pause(like in G*)
CHORUS__________________________________________

Oh don't feel
F F Am G
bad. Well I never
F F Am G
have. Now that I've got
F F Am G
you. My Emmy-
F F Am G
lou. No don't feel
---Do the same again.
No don't feel bad.
Well I never have, now that I've got you, my Emmylou.
