Artist: Tarkio
Album: Omnibus
Song: Goodbye Girl
Tabbed by: DCCastaway (kjscott81@comcast.net) from http://www.decemberists.com/orate
Verses:
G to D
Here is something the banjo accents on the D, I like to play it on the guitar
with upstrokes since I have no banjo player:
|--2--0--x--
|--3--3--3--
|--2--2--2--
|--0--0--0--
|-----------
|-----------
The recording is not that great, so Colin may actually be playing that (I can't tell),
or this slight variation:
|--2--0--2--
|--3--3--3--
|--2--2--2--
|--0--0--0--
|-----------
|-----------
Then the chorus:
C D
Sunlight on the lino
C D Em
Waken me with a shake
D G
I look around to find her but she's gone
C G
Goodbye Girl
C G
Goodbye Girl
D G
Goodbye Girl... Goodbye
Then back to G to D verus.
That's basically the whole song. The last chorus is x2.
During the banjo solo it's just the verse chords, G to D.
Oh and I'm pretty sure he plays the C chord with the G note in the bass:
|--0----
|--1----
|--0----
|--2----
|--3----
|--3----
