Strait George - Marina Del Rey 2 guitar tab
I have only seen one chord chart for this song on the internet, it was from
four years ago, and it had some pretty bad mistakes in it.Ê I was playing a
gig with a guitar player that, while he was a good player, he was
butchering the chord progression of this song up one side and down the
other.Ê I went ahead and charted it out, and I'm going to give him the
chart the next time I see him.Ê Anyway, here is Marina Del Rey by George
Strait.

Nashville Numbers Chart
OK, for those of you that have seen my charts before, you know that
I always include a Nashville Numbers chart.Ê This is because MOST
(not all) professional country musicians that are worth their salt
speak the number system for chord progressions.Ê Here's a quick and
basic tutorial on Nashville Numbers:
In the key of D, the following numbers are the following chords:
1 = D
4 = G
5 = A
6- = Bm
#5dim7 = A#dim7
4/5 = G/A
4/6 = G/B
4{6} = G6Ê (sorry...Ê this is not typical charting style, but there is no
easy way to signify this one in plain ASCII text)
You get the idea.Ê Any chords in parenthesis signify a split-bar...Ê
in other words, (4Ê 5) would mean the first half of the measure is a G
chord, and the second half of the measure is an A chord.Ê Any other
questions?Ê Got a problem with the chart?Ê E-mail me at
jrandorff@aol.com
Now, here's the chart:
