Here's another Keb' Mo' tune that's easy. His secret is the open tuning. In this case, open Bb. This is how he gets those nice harmonics while stilling keeping rhythm. Or he could be good enough to be able to pluck them w/ two fingers while still playing w/ his thumb. I know, weird tuning, but hey!, it's a great song to impress chicks w/. I don't use open Bb because, unlike Keb' Mo', I am merely a poor college student w/ only one guitar. Therefore, it is much too difficult to tune for just one song. So for me, this song is played capoed at the third fret. Chords: (open) (w/ capo) Bb Eb F Bb Eb F |--0----5---7-------3-----0---2-----------------| |--0----5---7-------0-----1---3-----------------| |--0----5---7-------0-----0---2-----------------| |--0----5---7-------0-----2---0-----------------| |--0----5---7-------2-----3--(0)----------------| |--0----5---7-------3---------------------------| Verse: Bb Lulaby... Eb Bb Time... F Eb Bb Hug... F Eb Bb Lay... Chorus: F-Eb-Bb On the last chorus, he plays the Eb a little longer This entire song is played w/ an alternating bass pattern. I think! Meaning, in the case of the Bb, in standard tuning, you would keep a quater note pulse going, alternating between Bb and F or D w/ your thumb.
