Ben Folds - Time

tabbed by fuperman

time by ben folds from songs for silverman

here’s the riff he plays , but the root notes differ a little bit from the chords
so watch out if you two guitarists playing both at the same time .

B | – – 7 – 7 – 7 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

E | – – – – – – – – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 7 – 7 – 7 – 7 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – – |

here’s the chords , if you choose to play them during the verse instead of that riff .
