If He Tries Anything - First Version

from Out of Range

by Ani Difranco

Tuning: Standard

The basis of this song is a "G shaped" C chord (hows that for

technical). The closest actual chord to it is a C9, but minus a finger on

the G string.I keep my little and third fingers on the high E and B strings

throughout the song.

I have a bit of trouble trying to write down what my right hand does, 'cause

it just kinda does it, ya know? So here's my best shot. Most of the "strums"

in this song are in relatively quick, jerky motions, until close to the

end of the run. After you've plucked the open A,D,and G strings, use all

of your finger nails - or whatever strumming tools you happen to be equiped

with - and rake them back and forth across the strings for thoses next

two strums. Remember that you may need to fill in a few strums and plucks

here ands there to make it sound right to you.
