Plain White Ts – Hey There Delilah tab ver. 3
This version of Hey There Delilah is for the people who don't like bar chords (like me)! I take no credit for working out the actual notes because I used another tab that was tabbed by kevith (a link to his tab is at the bottom); all I did was figure out how to play it without bar chords. The chords above the tab are the chords that would be played without a capo and are still the chords being played just in a different way. I've added lyrics underneath the lines and synced up the words with where the different chords begin. Capo on the 2nd fret.Intro D F#m D F#me-------------------------------------------------------------------|B---1---1---1---1---0---0---0---0---1---1---1---1---0---0---0---0---|G---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|D-----------------2---2---2---2-------------------2---2---2---2-----|A-3---3---3---3-------------------3---3---3---3---------------------|E-------------------------------------------------------------------|Verse 1: D F#m D F#me-------------------------------------------------------------------|B---1---1---1---1---0---0---0---0---1---1---1---1---0---0---0---0---|G---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|D-----------------2---2---2---2-------------------2---2---2---2-----|A-3---3---3---3-------------------3---3---3---3---------------------|E-------------------------------------------------------------------|D F#m D Hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City?
