Tab Notes

The first part of the tab is the melody line.For the first section you already know how to play this, but the second section is the new part to learn

 

There is a chord sequence too, and I have tabbed out the chords. 

First chord, E minor   then to G    then to A   then to C   

Next set of chords is E minor then to G   then to B chord (I am using a variation seventh suspended chord here for ease of use)

 

Then back to E minor, G, A, C

then E minor, B , back to E minor

 

This is the whole song chord sequence. Best to learn the melody first, then we can go through the chord sequence start to finish

 

Two equal strums on each chord thorughout, in equal timing, equal measure

Quite slow song, so take your time playing (a) the melody & (b) the chords.  Aim for even and equal playing in your timing. Smooth changes on the chords, try to keep fingers from touching any adjacent strings. Learn slow at first - speed up later. Speeding up is not an issue, but try to avoid any habits in learning the melody by learning slowly at first (ie naturally hitting wrong fret)...because if you learn an error, it's very very difficult to unlearn the programmed(In brain hand co-ordination) error. Learn slowly and correctly at first, then it's easier to just speed it all up later.
