Paper Airplane
by Alison Krauss & Union Station
Capo on 2nd fret.
Drop D tuning (DADGBE)
Tune is picked, not strummed (x = don't play)
C#m = x-2-4-4-3-x
B* = x-2-0-0-3-x
B** = x-0-2-2-2-x
B*** = 7-x-7-6-5-x (easier to move to G#7 on 8th fret if you use this)
A = 5-x-0-0-3-x
A* = 5-x-5-4-3-x
G#7 = x-1-2-3-2-x or 8-x-8-6-7-x
F#m = 2-x-2-0-0-x
During intro, F#m-C#m-B progression has hammer ons and offs. I'm no expert at
tab but
here's an approximation of what's being played (capo-less tuning shown):
E|----------------------------------------------|
B|------0---------------------------------------|
G|-----0----------------------------------------|
D|----2-----2-4--4-2-0-4-2--2-------------------|
A|---------------------0------------------------|
D|--2------0----0-------------------------------|
C#m B* B** A
I've put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt
F#m C#m B**
Some may say
C#m B* B** A
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud
F#m C#m B**
That comes my way
C#m B* B** A
Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain
F#m C#m B**
No choice I feel
C#m B* B** A
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain
F#m C#m B*
That's why you'll find me
E C#m F#m
Here all alone and still wondering why
A B*
Waitin inside for the cold to get colder
E C#m F#m
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
A* B*** G#7 C#m
Hopin to fly cause it's almost over now
* mandolin solo *
