If Not For You
Shakey Graves
G#m
This tab is in no way perfect or complete, but I couldn't find anything when I wanted to learn how to play this song so I decided I should share what I've got so far. I figured out the tuning and the chords by watching a live version. I tabbed the riffs based on what I heard in the recording and it sounds good when I play along, but I'm not 100% sure that they're right. Tuning: Open C# (Open D + half step down) The chords used are C# F and F# with some occasional variations
Verse
Strum/Pick through the chords C#(16x) F(12x) F#(4x)
(you can play almost any notes as long as you hold the chords and it'll sound good)
The following notes are played while strumming C# (listen to the recording to know when):Chorus
Strum the C# chord with energy (not actually sure what chord is used here but C# works well enough for me.
If anybody knows what chord it actually is please correct me)
