as with all mason i’m familiar with , all strings are dropped one half step . in
addition , drop the 6th string another step like drop D tuning . you’ll end up with
C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D# . finally , capo on 2nd fret .
the D and E minor chords use all six strings , striking 6th string first as a base note
and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern
where the first two down strikes are the base note . when you play the E minor chord ,
add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you’re in
drop D .
i think there’s also a little flourish of some sort on the D chords in the chorus , but i
can’t figure out what it is . listen to the song and let me know if you get it . this
is my first tab , so any feedback is appreciated . all the best!
D
i met a man who was not quite an old man
Amaj7
said he was an old boy
D
i would make a toast to believe and bet you
Amaj7
that i would be the same old man
D
not the kind with a lost soul
Amaj7
who can’t put down his toys
D
honey there’ll be absolute peace in my heart
Amaj7
and resolution in my soul
Em A D
so don’t , don’t , darlin’ don’t be surprised
Em A D
when i don’t leave your side
Em
’cause there’s not a single part of my love
A D
that you should not believe
Em
i hope when i grow old
A D
that you grow old with me
D
i begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies
Amaj7
because i love the left lane
D
and i begged the pardon of the mass media
Amaj7
you know on sundays i don’t go to mass
D
and i tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your
Amaj7
house , i’m waiting for a hurricane
D
to blow , blow , blow from the west to the east and tell me
Amaj7 D
who’s gonna be here last
Em A D
so don’t , don’t , darlin’ don’t be surprised
Em A D
when i don’t leave your side
Em
’cause there’s not a single part of my love
