Let It Go Intro Tab

James Bay - Let It Go.
 
This is my own representation of the work of the author, from ear. I've written this work to be
played open with no capo, however, the original song will be one semitone higher than this.
So just put a capo on fret 1 and move everything up a single fret once you've learned it.
 
 
[Intro]
 
C, Fmaj7, Am, G
 
Here is the Fmaj7 barre voicing that's used in the intro and verse, as best as I can hear it:
 
e|-5-|
B|-5-|
G|-5-|
D|-7-|
A|-8-|
E|-x-|
 
 
[Intro]
 
 
For the intro there are two guitars, one rhythmic and one playing a riff simultaneously.
 
 
Guitar 1 (rhythm):
 
     C            Fmaj7             Am              G
e|---0----0---0---5---5---5---5---5--0----0---0------3----3---3----1--0----------------------|
B|---1----1---1---5---5---5---5---5--1----1---1------3----3---3----1--1----------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---3--3---3---3s8-8---8----8--8----0--0---0----0-------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------3--3---3----3---------------------------|(x2)
 
Guitar 2 (riff):
 
e|--------8-----8-----------------7-8-8--------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------10-10-10--------------8-------------------------------------------------|
G|--9h10-----10----10----10-10-10---------9------10---9----------------------------------------|

[Verse]
 
(part 1)
 
The intro tab is played exactly the same throughout the first four lines of the verse, except guitar 2
stops. Only guitar 1 is played here:
 
 
C                     Fmaj7                Am        G
   From walkin' home, and talking loads,
 
C                  Fmaj7                        Am      G
      To seeing shows, in evening clothes, with you.
 
C                    Fmaj7                      Am      G
     From nervous touch, and getting drunk,
 
C                Fmaj7                    Am          G
    To stayin' up, and wakin' up, with you.
 
 
(part 2)
 
This part of the verse, the chords change to an almost chromatic scale going down. The guitar 1 tab goes:
 
       Am            Am7/G                       Am6/F#     Gmaj7
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----5----5----5----5---5----5-----5-----5---5----5---5--5----5----5----5---5--------------|
G|-----5----5----5----5---5----5-----5-----5---5----5---5--5----5----5----5---5--------------|
D|-----7--7----7------5-5----5-----5-----5-----4--4---4----3--3----3---3----3----------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|(x2)
 
 
                Am                 Am7/G                         Am6/F#     Gmaj7
 And now we're slippin' at the edge, holding something we don't need,
            Am                  Am7/G                       Am6/F#             Gmaj7
All this delusion in our heads, is gonna bring us to our knees
 
 
[Chorus]
 
The chords for the chorus on guitar 1 are F, C, Am, G, F, C, G x 2, but I'll update this more when I
figure the rest out. I need to work out the tabs and bridge. Watch this space.
