Song: (Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues
Thing
Performer: Richard Ashcroft

_Notes:_ Very pretty love song from Richard's debut
single. Unfortunately I've yet to acquire his album,
so as of yet this is my favorite of his solo songs.
The long title makes it a nightmare to archive in 
I'm sure...:-) It's relatively simple, and the ending
reminds me of an old Verve song called "Gravity
Grave", and bases itself on two repeating chords (F,
Em). It's - almost - minimalist! :-)

_Effects:_ Set delay to 40 ms, sounds about right.
Flanger has much the same effect, with added effect
that sounds a bit like speaker phasing. Less
pedal-centric than other, earlier Verve songs, and the
vocal occasionally drowns out the guitar...

_Tuning:_ This song is played in standard tuning.
(EADGBe).

Define chords:

Dm   - XX0231 or 10,12,12,10,10,10
Em   - XX2453 or 12,14,14,12,12,12 or 022000
Dm/F - 100231
F    - XX3211 or 133211 or XX3565
E    - 022100 or 12,14,14,13,12,12
C    - X32010 or 8,10,10,9,8,8

_Rhythm:_ This song is played in 4/4 time. In the
verse play two bars of each chord, and in the chorus
it drops down to one bar per chord. Very simple
stuff...

Intro:

G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

(With heavy reverb, delay or phase)

Then: Dm, Em - 2 bars each

Verse:

Dm - 2 bars (How many...)
Em - 2 bars (days have I...)
      x4

Chorus:

F - 1 bar
E - 1 bar
Dm/F - 1 bar
C - 1 bar
  a few times (depends on which verse)

Then back to verse...

End part: (Could be a country thing...)
F - 1 bar
E - 1 bar

repeat...until end of song, whole sequence.

for more information. There is also a guitar tabs
section where things like this are exchanged but as
this is an Ashy tab it does not fit...
