The Rat Who Would Be King / Matthew Good Band / The Audio Of Being / 2001
Tabbed by Kathtastrophy
Tuning: Standard
I adapted this song for rhythm acoustic. Its very simple and you can play it
along
to the song. Like all Good's songs play around with hammer-ons and completely
removing strings from a chord.
This a very basic outline.
Be creative with it.
G 320033
Am x02210
C x32010
F 133211 F and Fmaj9 are somewhat interchangeable
Fmaj9 x33010 I prefer the sound of Fmaj9 though
G/Am 302210
F#/Am 20(2)210
F/Am 10(2)210 or A regular barred F
Listen to the song to get the timing. If its confusing I can make a video.
