"Independently Happy (Acoustic)" by Blue October

Notes:

• A few things about this tab. First of all, this is an acoustic compilation tab,

meaning that I tried to combine multiple elements from the actual song into a single

guitar part. So there are some elements of the violin part, the bass guitar part, and

the lead guitar part. Next, I don't know if this would work on a guitar with all six

strings, so keep that in mind. Although all the fingerings show the high e string as

muted, I doubt it'd be possible to actually mute it with your fingers. I just don't

have that string at all (nor does Justin of Blue October). With that having been said,

here's the piece...



Intro & Verses ("I feel that it's hard enough to say goodbye...")

(Strum; basically finger G6 (320000) and briefly throw in A notes with your index finger 

the g string at fret 2 to match the violin; accent all strums with this A note in them)

back to switching b/w Gadd9 & G6--------|

to the chords below)
