Cat Power - Cherokee

cherokee – cat power
sun ( 2012 )

this is my attempt at this beautiful opener from cat power’s forthcoming album “sun” .

little riff repeated at the beginning and the end of the song :

B – – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 7 – 7 – – – – – 5 – 5 – –
G – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 4 – 4 – – – – – –

whole song :

D – – 2 – – 0 – – 5 – – 4 – – ( 8 times each note ) – – > ( this is what chan plays in the live version )

or you can play chords instead :

E – D – G – F#
