Hunters And Collectors - Holy Grail (Live) guitar tab
Title: Holy Grail (LIVE)
Artist: Hunters & Collectors
Album: Living in Large Rooms and Lounges
Tabbed by: Rob Bowman rebowman@utas.edu.au
Holy Grail has got to be one of my most favourite songs to play acoustically.
This is the live version that Mark plays as a solo on the first CD and I
like it the most 'cause it sounds so good as a solo piece. (But it still
rocks when played with the whole band)
The chord progression is E A C#m B.
Mark plays this one with a CAPO on the 4TH FRET, so the chords relative
to the capo are C F Am G. Making sense? See the chords below if you don't.
So just play these open chords and you've got it. Listen for the chord
changes.
Every tab I've seen of this song has the wrong chords in the bridge,
and I'm not blaming anyone. It took me ages before I finally got them, so
they're right in this tab.
Standard tuning, Capo 4th
C - 032010 Is equivalent to E - 022100 or 779997
F - 133211 (without the capo) A - 577655 or 002220
Am- 002210 C#m- 446654 or 911999
G - 320033 B - 223332 or 799877
C7- 032310 E7 - 020100 or 779797
