59 Yards (Boo Hewerdine)

E|------------------------| 

This is on Boo Hewerdine's second 
album, Ignorance. It's played in Ab
(capo at 1), live and on the album. 
All the following is written as
though played in G (at the nut), so 
if you're playing with a capo at the
first fret, remember to play all the
 TAB sections one fret higher than
written here.


Am                               
59  yards  from  your  house to  
C  D            Am               
my house        59 yards away
 D  C

59  yards  from  your  house to  my 
house        59 yards away
Am                                
There's a  white car waiting to 
                                 D 
take me, waiting tt me, waiting to 
 C
take

Am

my house        59 yards away

Chord fingerings:

X02210 - Am
320003 - G

Strumming in the verse is generally 
fast strumming of the bass strings,
quickly damped with the palm of the 
right hand (there's probably one of
those cute little italian words to 
describe this), except the D C at 
the
end of each line which is the full 
chord. Have a listen to the album.

Bend notation :

x(y)   fretted at x, pre-bent upto 
y, pick and hold


  /
x(y)   fretted at x, pick and bend 
one half-step upto y


 0.5
/
X    fretted at X, pick and bend up 
half a half-step (one quarter step?)

   \
x(y)x fretted at x, pre-bent (to y),
 pick and release bend back down to 
x


h is a hammer on
p is a pull-off

Here's the break written out in the 
key of Ab (i.e. this is exactly what
you play if you're using a capo at 
the first fret).
