#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE----------------------------------# # This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # # song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------# Now, the verses have a violin or cello on them, playing an Emajor- F# kinda thing, that is hard to simulate on standard guitars, however horns play this part live at TMBG shows, or harmonics on your standard guitar or bass can imitate that somewhat accurately. C#m A F#7 G# How am I supposed to let you know the way I feel about you? |--------------------------------------------------------------------| Tabbed by Zondry: Though technically not a guitar tab, this knowledge of this was learned by ear. The repetitive "ba ba da..." chorus is accompanied mostly by hi-hat and bass guitar. The verses are accompanied by cellos, with E E/Eb - E E/F# played twice in each verse. The breakdown is accompanied by harp, cello, and keyboard. It does not necessarily work on most guitars, but easier to do on keyboard. If you are unable to simulate the cello parts on a guitar, you can alternately use a keyboard or synthesizer at your preferred setting to simulate the cello parts. You can also simulate the cello with a bass guitar instead for the breakdown. Chorus (Ba ba da ba ba ba da ba, it's acapella in the beginning and after the breakdown): Bassline notes: E - C# - A - F# - B - A - G# - A - B Cello notes (Verse): E - E-E E/Eb - E/Eb E/Eb E/Eb | E - E-E E/F# - E/F# E/F# E/F# (2x) Chorus Verse Chorus C# A F#7 Ab C# A F#7 Ab How'm I s'posed to let you know the way I feel about you? C# A F#7 Ab (Louder): C# A F#7 Ab7 How'm I s'posed to let you know the way I feel about you? Chorus (acapella only) Chorus Verse Chorus |
