Tina Dico - Sacre Coeur
-----------------------
Tuning is G#D#G#C#D#G# which is DADGAD with Capo at 6th fret (sometimes she also plays
it at 7th
fret). There are different versions of this song played live. Would have never figured
it out if
there weren´t a version available where she tunes her guitar.
Chords (nevermind their names, they´re more or less randomly just to give them a name).
Note the
muted strings (x) for strummed chords.
E* x12000 Ab5 000200

Verse
-----
This is the general picking during the verses:
p p p p |----------------|----------------| |--0------0~----0|--0------0~----0| h = hammer on |---0-------0--0-|---0-------0--0-| p = pull off |----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--| ~ = let ring |1~-----3~-------|5~-----5~-------| |----------------|----------------| E* Gb* Abm*
Note that within this tab each column or character represents a 16th note to give you
the rythm and
that for example "20~" along with the "p" means to hit the 2 for one 16th, then pull off
to 0 and
let it ring for additional two 16th.
This progression is varied from time to time, for example to something like this:
p p p p p p p p |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |--0------0~----0|---------0~----0| |---------0~----0|---------------0| |---0-------0--0-|-----------0--0-| or this |-----------0--0-|--------------0-| |----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--| |----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--| |1~-----3~-------|5~5~---5~-------| |1~~----3~-------|5~5~---5~5~5----| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| E* Gb* Abm* E* Gb* Abm*
or this:
p p p pp p p p p |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |--0------0~----0|--0------0~-----| |--0------0~----0|--0------0~-----| |---0-------0--0-|---0-------0----| or this |---0-------0--0-|---0-------0----| |----20~-----20--|----30~-----320~| |----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--| |1~-----3~-------|5~-----5~-------| |1~-----3~-------|5~-----5~-----5~| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| E* Gb* Abm* E* Gb* Abm*
You can also play other combinations of these pattern. Just get the rythm and play with it.
Sometimes (2. verse) she hits the empty lowest (6th) string hard with her thumb along
the first "5~"
in this pattern to give it an accent:
p p p p |----------------|----------------| |--0------0~----0|--0------0~----0| |---0-------0--0-|---0-------0--0-| |----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--| |1~-----3~-------|5~~----5~-------| |----------------|0~~~~~~~~-------| E* Gb* Abm*/G#
Or reduce this pattern to single bass notes on 4th and 5th string (3. verse).
If you can sing like her you can also just stop playing guitar at all and just sing ;-)
At the beginning or in some versions, where she does a short break between
the verses, at the beginning of each verse she hammers on the first note:
<------------- verse 1 -----------------><---------------------- verse 2 -----------------------> h p p h p p p p |----------------|...|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|...| |--0------0~----0|...|----------------|----------------|--0------0~----0|--0------0~----0|...| |---0-------0--0-|...|----------------|----------------|---0-------0--0-|---0-------0--0-|...| |----20~-----20--|...|----------------|----------------|----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--|...| 0|1~-----3~-------|...|5~~~~~----------|---------------0|1~-----3~-------|5~-----5~-------|...| |----------------|...|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|...| E* Gb* Abm* E* Gb* Abm*
Without the break it can look like this:
<-------------- verse 1 -----------------><------------- verse 2 --------------> h p p p p h p p p p |----------------|...|----------------|----------------|----------------|...| |--0------0~----0|...|--0------0~-----|--0------0~----0|--0------0~----0|...| |---0-------0--0-|...|---0-------0----|---0-------0--0-|---0-------0--0-|...| |----20~-----20--|...|----30~-----30--|----20~-----20--|----30~-----30--|...| 0|1~-----3~-------|...|5~-----5~-----0~|1~-----3~-------|5~-----5~-------|...| |----------------|...|----------------|----------------|----------------|...| E* Gb* Abm* E* Gb* Abm*
The last time time she plays this pattern before the refrain she uses a C# as a bass note:
p p p |----------------|----------------| |--0------0~----0|----------------| |---0-------0--0-|----------------| |----20~-----20--|----30~---------| |1~-----3~-------|5~~~---5~~~~~---| |----------------|5~~~---5~~~~~---| E* Gb* Abm*/C#

Refrain
-------
For the refrain there are two different versions as it can be picked or strummed. Let´s
deal with
the picked version first. It is build around the same chords just in another order.
p p pp p p p pp p |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |--0------0~----0|--0------0~----0| |--0------0~-----|--0------0~-----| |---0-------0--0-|---0-------0--0-| or |---0-------0----|---0-------0----| |----30~-----20--|----320-----20--| |----30~-----20--|----320-----20--| |5~-----3~-------|1~~----3~-------| |5~-----3~-----3~|1~~----3~-----3~| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| Abm* Gb* E* Gb* Abm* Gb* E* Gb*
Both variants are interchangeble, so you might also play the first bar of the first
version with the
second bar of the second version and vice versa.
This pattern is played twice until "haunted" and then it continuous with:
pp p p p p <--- strum -| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|-------------| |--0------0~----0|--0------0~-----|--0-------------|----------------|-------------| |---0-------0--0-|---0-------0----|---0------------|----------------|-------------| |----320-----20--|----30~-----20--|----20~---------|----------------|0~~~~~~------| |1~-----3~-------|5~-----1~-------|1~--------------|1~~~~~~3~-------|-------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|-------------| E* Gb* Abm* E* Gb* Ab5
In the last measure and on the "coeur" she starts to strum the bridge with the chord
progression of
Ab5 - Ab7sus4 - Emaj7(no5) - Ab7sus4 - Ab5 - Ab7sus4 - Emaj7(no5)
Listen to the song to get the rythm. The strummed version of the refrain is played like
this as
well. See below in the complete song for the strummed refrain.

Outro

As outro she plays this pattern repeatedly. s |----------------| |--0-------------| s = slide |---0------------| |----35~7~5~3~2~0| |5~--------------| |----------------| Abm*
