Maries Room - Someday Tab

Simon Alexander - Someday
(Written for the free story game "Marie's Room")
 
A folk-ish fingerpicking song which makes clever use of unison notes on wound and unwound strings which makes
it sound a bit like two separate guitars. It also uses some spicy but easy to play chords.
The song was written by the Swedish singer-songwriter Simon Alexander for the free story game "Marie's Room"
from 2018. It was later released on his album "A Place to Call Home" in 2020.
 
Tempo:  ~90bpm except the intro
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Capo:   2nd fret
 
Basic Chord shapes used later in the song:
D6sus2: X57700
F#m11:  244200 (use thumb to fret the low E string)
E:      022100
Aadd9:  577400
 
Acoustic guitar - Fingerpicking - Let the notes ring, especially the ones on the unwound strings
