Concrete And Clay Cifras

Song: Concrete and clay
Artist: Unit 4 +2
Composers: Brian Parker and Tommy Moeller
 
Tabbed by: DJ   27th Jan 2013
 
TWO ALTERNATIVE TABS To CHOOSE FROM...
 
VERSION ONE:
To play along with the original recording you need
to de - tune all of your strings down a semi-tone,
just as the guitarist in Unit 4 +2 did.
A chromatic guitar tuner can be useful for this.
 
TUNE DOWN TO: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb
After you've detuned all the strings the chords
will then sound as if in the key of Ab.
 
VERSION TWO:
In standard tuning, but using a capo to bring it
into the key of the original recording.
 
YouTube audio of original single:

Here's a promo video on YouTube that's been sped
up slightly, so actually sounds in G. So you could
play along with this particular clip without either
using a capo, or detuning:

Chords are named as if still in standard tuning:
A7 = x02020    F#m = 244222    Bm = x24432
D7 = xx0212    Em  = 022000    A  = 577655
G  = 355433    D   = xx0232    F# = 244322

You to me  ...are sweet as roses in the morning,
    A7                        D7             G
And you to me  ...are soft as summer rain at dawn,
                          F#m
In love we share  ...that something rare
 
[Chorus]
    Em
The sidewalks in the street,

              D                 Bm

Be - fore we say good - bye,
            G               F#             A7

That's the way it's meant to be
 
[Verse 2]
A7                      D7
All around ...I see the purple shades of evening,
    A7                           D7
And on the ground ...the shadows fall,
             G                          F#m
And once a - gain you're in my arms, so tenderly
