Bob - Airplanes Acoustic

tabbed by : shaun
email : xshaunxmurrayx@yahoo . com

tuning : standard
capo : 9

this is how i like to play the song when i play it acoustically .
since no one tagged the chords to the lyrics , or any site i could
find had accurate lyrics , i typed them up and addEd the chords .
i hope it helps .

when i play it , i like to finger pick just the 2nd , 4th , and 5th strings ,
and strike the strings for the mute and sound it makes .
you play Am for an extra count so it would look like this .

( capo 9 ) Am Am F C
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – x – – |
B | – – – – – – – – – 1 – – – x – – – 1 – – – x – – – 1 – – – x – – – 1 – – – x – – |

E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – x – – |

on the second bridge i change the finger picking to an arpeggiated pattern
with the same fingers , playing up and down the 2nd , 4th , and 5th strings
rapidly like this .
