The Inkspots - I Dont Want To Set The World On Fire Tabs

Genre: Vocal Groups
Created On: 11/24/2008

You might want to adjust your guitar a bit to match the specific recording
you have since these were extracted from 78's and the pitch might be off.
I had to screw the pitch up by about a whole note to match the "My Prayer"
album.

When playing accent the bass root-note on the down strum and the higher
pitched three strings on the up strum to get the effect you hear on the
record (and so the chords sound proper). Also, don't use a pick, use your
thumb to soften the sound.

LEGEND:
^ = down strum (eadgbe)
v = up strum (ebgdae)
() = optional
p = right hand thumb
