Anouk - One Word

anouk : one word
album : hotel new york
tabbed by : evert lancel

on cd the song is played in a lower tuning ( D# ) . i here put it in standard tuning .
if you want to play along with the song , than you need to either tune your guitar
half a note lower , or make a copy of the song in higher pitch , using some
free sound editing software ( audacity ) . that’s a lot easier than retuning all the
time .

chords in standard tuning :

D add9 sus4 x54030 ( for short Dadd9 . . )
Am9 x05500
Dsus2 xx0230
Asus2 x02200
Em7 022030 ( i like 02×030 , because the basses come out stronger )
A#m7 x24232
G 355433
Csus2 x35533

the strumming rhythm is very important : the first short strums should be on the bass
tones only and the short strums for the rest of the measure should emphasis the
higher tones ( while playing the base strings as well . although it varies all the time
( just listen well ) , in A 16th measure it is basically like this
( v = strumming downwards , A = strumming upwards ) :

| v – v – vava – – vava – – |
