Spring interprété par John Butler Trio Originally from http://www.johnbutlertrio.com ---------SPRING--------- Music & Lyrics by John Butler From the album "Living (Live Album)" By The John Butler Trio Tabbed by - Michael Palethorpe, mike___p@hotmail.com Alright, here is my little tab of one of the best songs off 'Living". Its a very emotional song, played with feeling. I tabbed it according to the live album version, so the best way to play it is to listen to the song in order to get the feel and the timing. I've included some time markers, so it will help to play along with a CD player that displays the seconds. Play it in open C (Low-High CGCGCE) with a Capo on the 4th Fret. I'll tab out the nice intro, and include some basic pick patterns, but if your an experienced player, just use a nice picking pattern to hit those open notes every now and then. As players will see, there is a lot of classic John Butler hammerons (h) and pulloffs (p). These are done very fast. Just Listen. I hope you're a good fingerpicker.

Repeat that riff for the Chorus, then go back to the verses again. For the next Chorus, the more emotional one, just play the same chorus riff, But strum it keeping the same fingerings but hitting the open notes aswell. Just feel it. That's it. Okay, done. Hopefully if this tab is too hard to follow it will let you know here the notes are played. Add your variations. This was a pain to type up, let me know what you think, if you like it, I'll type up some others. Have fun, -MIKE- mike___p@hotmail.com Got any Tabs?
