Forget You | TAB

Let’s go through all sections using TAB so you can play this modern classic with your band.

Intro

This forms the foundation of the tune. Make sure it’s second nature—stick with this simple version for all choruses for at least one playthrough.

Verse

The verse is very simple, though I spent years playing the wrong shapes. Here’s the correct way to play it:

Middle 8

I’ve created a part for the middle 8 to give it energy in a live gig, where the original production isn’t present. The chords are accurate, based on the keyboard part.

Chorus

The chorus could be played like the intro, but I suggest building it to add more energy live. I’ve even added one extension (Fadd9) to enrich it.
