Hi.
Here's number eleven of tabs for the song Heartbeats by José Gonzalez.
And all the other versions say that they are correct...
I think it is based on the Travis picking style: use your thumb on each count. So the
pattern for your picking (right) hand is pip pmpi|p pmpipi
(p=thumb, i=index finger, m=middle finger) In the spaces is a hammer, played by your
left hand. Be sure that every half count gets one note, to get the right flow.
Especially the hammered notes (4h5) and the next note played by the thumb give the for
this song so typical effect:
they are on a different string but it is the same note! Good luck!
HEARTBEATS José González

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldnt be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colours red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldnt be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldnt be good enough
Cm Ab (barre 5)
And you, you knew the hands of the devil
Cm Ab (barre 5)
And you, kept us awake with wolf teeths
Sharing different heartbeats
Cm
In one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldnt be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldnt be good enough
For me, no
