Dido - Don't Leave Home
Album: Life For Rent ('2003)
Track: #6/11
It seems my first effort was none too good - hopefully this attempt is rather
more accurate (although it's quite possible that some of the G6 chords should
really be Em7). I should state that much of the credit for this should go to Denis Jacob!
The following is played under the verses (the rhythm is approximate):
G/D G5/D D5
| e | | | | |
| B | 3 3 3 3 3 | 3 33 3 3 3 3 | 3 3 3 3 3 | 3 33 3 3 3 3 |
| G | 4 4 4 4 4 | 0 00 0 0 0 0 | 2 2 2 2 2 | 2 22 2 2 2 2 |
| D | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 00 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 00 0 0 0 0 |
| B | | | | |
| E | | | | |
And then the following is played under the bridge:
G A7sus4 D
| e | 3 3 3 3 3 | 3 33 3 3 3 3 | 2 2 2 2 2 | 2 22 3 2 3 2 |
| B | 3 3 3 3 3 | 3 33 3 3 3 3 | 3 3 3 3 3 | 3 33 3 3 3 3 |

| E | 3 3 3 3 3 | | | |
