--------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Bee Gees --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Open D Bee Gees How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (1971) (Barry Gibb/Maurice Gibb/Robin Gibb) From: "Trafalgar" This song sounds beautiful with an open tuning like Barry Gibb uses it on the original recording. It is an open D tuning (the strings are tuned down - so no danger of broken strings!) and then putting a capo on the 2nd fret to make it sound in E major. The shapes arent difficult either one just needs a little time to get used to them. I named the chords like you hear them, so it is easy to just play along in standard tuning, too. Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS (chord names are what you hear)D-A-D-F#-A-D + capo 2nd fretE 0-0-0- 0-0-0Esus4 0-0-0- 1-0-0Emaj7 0-0-0- 3-4-0F#m7(add11) 2-2-2- 1-0-0G# 4-4-4- 4-4-4C#m x-2-0- 0-2-0F# 2-2-2- 2-2-2B x-0-2- 3-4-2Bsus4 x-0-2- 3-5-2A 5-5-5- 5-5-5 or x-x-0- 1-2-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO This is a mixture of the guitar and the piano played in the intro Whatever your strumming pattern may be, try to incorporate the following changes: Open D + capo 2nd fret Esus4(add13)E Esus4 E Esus4 E E 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +d |0---------------|0---0-----------|--------0---0---|5---5---7-------|A |0---------------|0---0-----------|--------0---0---|5---5---9-------|F#|0-------------0-|1---0-----------|--------1---0---|5---5---8-------|D |0-----------0---|0---0-----------|--------0---0---|0-------0-------|A |0---------0-----|0---0-----------|--------0---0---|0-------0-------|D |0---------------|0---0-----------|--------0---0---|0-------0-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO | E | Esus4 E | E Esus4 E | Esus4(add13) E | (see above) VERSE 1E Emaj7I can think of younger days, when living for my lifeF#m7(add11) E Was everything a man could want to doG# C#m I could never see tomorrow,F# B Bsus4 B [break]But I was never told about the sor- row ... andCHORUSEmaj7How can you mend a broken heartF#m7(add11) How can you stop the rain from falling downA B A BHow can you stop, the sun from shiningF#m7(add11) B E What makes the world go roundEmaj7How can you mend this broken manF#m7(add11) How can a loser ever winA B A BPlease help me mend my broken heartF#m7(add11) B [E] And let me live againINTERLUDEE Esus4 E Da da da da daVERSE 2E I can still feel the breezeEmaj7 That rustles through the treesF#m7(add11) E And misty memories of days gone byG# C#m We could never see tomorrowF# B Bsus4 B [break]No one said a word about the sor- row ... andCHORUSEmaj7How can you mend a broken heartF#m7(add11) How can you stop the rain from falling downA B A BHow can you stop, the sun from shiningF#m7(add11) B E What makes the world go roundEmaj7How can you mend this broken manF#m7(add11) How can a loser ever winA B A BPlease help me mend my broken heartF#m7(add11) B E And let me live againEmaj7La la la la la la, la la la la laF#m7(add11)La la la la, la la la laA B A BPlease help me mend my broken heartF#m7(add11) B [E] And let me live againCODAE Esus4 E Da da da daE Emaj7 Emaj7 [break]Da da dn da da da da da da da-ah-ah
