Rachel Stevens (ex S-Club 7) - Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex
I m kinda embarrassed to put this up, as she s definitely not the kind of artist that I
would normally listen to (I certainly didn t pay any attention to S-Club 7!), but they
keep playing this song at the gym I go to and I need to exorcise it from my mind! I must
admit, though, it s not too bad considering...
Note: I may very well have done this in the wrong key, as I ve tabbed this from memory,
and without a copy of the song to play along it s difficult to be sure of the correct pitch!
Intro:
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
G|----------------|7--7----7--7----|7--7------------|----------------|
D|7--7----7--7----|7--7----7--7----|7--7----8--8----|7--7----7--7----|
A|7--7----7--7----|5--5----5--5----|5--5----8--8----|7--7----7--7----|
E|5--5----5--5----|----------------|--------6--6----|5--5----5--5----|
And then under the verses and chorus it s:
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
G|----------------|7--7x---7--7x---|7--7x-----------|----------------|
D|7--7x---7--7x---|7--7x---7--7x---|7--7x---8--8x---|7--7x---7--7x---|
A|7--7x---7--7x---|5--5x---5--5x---|5--5x---8--8x---|7--7x---7--7x---|
E|5--5x---5--5x---|----------------|--------6--6x---|5--5x---5--5x---|
The x is actually in the drum part, but it seems to work if you also play it on the
guitar, either to damp the strings, or just to repeat the revious chord.
