Jay Brannan – Cant Have It All tab
Chords:
I've been listening to this song for a while now and finally sat down to figure out just how it goes. I am damn near 100 percent that this is perfect, sat here watching his video and mucking about with it until it sounded just right to MY ear, at least. And, of course, this is my first tab :P The verses kind of switch back and forth from picked to strummed, the pre-chorus is bar chords, the chorus switches back. I think I made it pretty clear, but then again I did write it out so what works for me may not for you. Hope this helps you out, there are not near enough tabs out there for Jay Brannan's incredible songs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can’t Have It All – Jay Brannan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Shakestheklown Tuning: Standard Capo: 6 Intro – Fingerpicked D Bm A X 2D Bm Ae|----------------------0----------0-------|B|-------3----------------3----------2-----|G|-----------2-----------------------------|D|-----0---0----------4----------2---------|A|------------------2----------0-----------|E|-----------------------------------------|Verse – Switches between fingerpicked and strummed.
