Baby One More Time | TAB

Let’s ignore the idea of playing this in a band without a capo and instead work out how to play it using a capo on fret 3.

Here’s the intro, play along with the original recording to get the right feel.

Make sure you play all notes with a little dot above as short, otherwise the feel won’t be there.

Here’s the verse TAB. There is still that short strum, notice the dot!

The last bar on each line says Dm – E – G – Am although it looks more like Dm – Em – Am. I did consider writing it as Em – Am instead but since the bass goes to G, I felt this was wrong even though on one guitar, that’s what we end up playing.

Here’s the bridge TAB, compare the strumming to the verse.

Here’s the chorus TAB, now the strums are bigger, it’s important to make the sections different like these, especially when the progressions are the same in all sections.

That G5/F is similar to how we played Em – Am, but this time, I’ve written the new chords.

Finally, here’s the breakdown section, first play this as written (especially the first half) then consider how you could change this into your version.
