New Star Song
tabbed by mike/howardfinkel.
minor improvements by esther dodson.
Capo 1 (this is just one of the ways i figured out from the album, you can capo it lots of places and it can be different live, im guessing John's tuned down a step or something on the album..)
Can also just do Capo 3 and drop all the chords a full step, i play that sometimes too..
there's an occasional riff on the A chord that you can play whenever you'd like; just a basic hammer and pull a la:
e: |-------0
B: |-------2
G: |-------2
D: |--0h2--2
A: |-----0-0
E: |-------0
be gentle on the high e string; the song is played predominantly on the low spectrum.
