  • Notes:
     
    Hi. This is my TAB of Tracy Chapman's 'Give Me One Reason'. This is a
  • great, yet very simple blues song. A previous posting showed the song in a
    straight 12 bar blues progresson in E, and I posted a version exactly like
    this one in G, however, the song is played in F#. A couple of people tipped
  • me on the fact that it's supposed to be in F#, so thanks! I have tabbed the
    chords in plain majors, however, you can make each a 7th to add a bit of a
    more bluesy sound.
  •  
    The main riff (Fig. 1) is played throughout the entire song, verse,
    chorus, solo, everything. The high strikes of the chords should be played
  • 'up strokes' and the muted parts of the chords should be played with
    'down strokes'. This is another part of the tab which I messed up a little
    because I reversed the symbols on the Figure. Check the key again and match
  • it to Fig. 1. Speaking of the solo, I have not posted it, nor have I
    posted the little fills between the different lines of the verse. I figured
    that it is more fun to play your own fills, and add your own solo.
  • Improvisation is a big part of my playing, so I will only post what is in
    the actual song.
