Turning Tables Tabs

(ver. 3)
Adele
This is how I play this beautiful song with the guitar.
All the picking in the world cannot make up for the amazing piano though.
This is the best I could do to replicate it.
PM me if you have any questions or suggestions.

The real tune would require a capo on the 8th fret.
I keep it on the 5th because I wouldn't be able to sing those high notes
even if I practiced for 100 years. So I guess it's up to you...

D/G=[200233]
Em7=[022033]
Cadd9[x32033]

 Capo 5th fret

VERSE
Em7                         Cadd9
    Close enough to start a war
        Am            c
All that I have is on the floor
Em7                                    Cadd9
    God only knows what we're fighting for
        Am             C
All that I say, you always say more




PRE-CHORUS
[I usually just do some random picking with the Em and Am to get the lenghts I need.]

VERSE II
Under haunted skies I see you, ooh
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down


PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

BRIDGE


[The picking is similar to that of the chorus]


Em7                       C
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own saviour
G                            Am
When the thunder calls for me
Em7                       C
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own saviour
G                       D/G
Standing on my own two feet

CHORUS

End
