Justin Nozuka - After Tonight

capo : 3rd fret ( optional of course , but album version is 3 )
chords :
Am [ x 0 2 2 1 0 ]
Em [ 0 2 2 0 0 0 ]
Dm [ x 0 0 2 3 1 ]
F1 [ 0 3 3 2 1 0 ] actually an open F
F2 [ 0 4 4 3 2 0 ] actually an F#
F3 [ 0 5 5 4 3 0 ] actually A G
F [ 1 3 3 2 1 1 ] standard F bar chord

i copied most of this from version 1 by stugreenham ver1 is really a great tab
and helped me trememdously . i Am updating this to include the change of name on
chords C1/C2/C3 to F1/F2/F3 , but as i mention above they are really just open F/F#/
G chords . im leaving them as F1/F2/F3 as it reinforces that the grip/position is
the same , just sliding up/Down the neck . also some of the chord placements were A
little off , so i made those adjustments and in the bridge i believe its a quick
( denoted by the parenthesis ) Em not Dm chord on the first two lines . other
comments have said they just strum all strings open , except muting the low E so
you might try that as well . i also mute the low E string but leave the high E
ringing open most of the time while sliding up on the F1/F2/F3 , but not always –
depends on how clean you want it to sound . i hope this is helpful to other people
and want to say thank you again to stugreenham for the first submission . its
really well done and how i learned to play this song . cheers!
