Get Here | TAB (capo 3)
Let’s go through the three sections that make up Get Here, starting with the intro:
I’ve kept this as close as possible to the original recording. The chords are IV – I/3 – VI – II – V. It looks difficult with all those extensions.
The Am7add2 could also have been described as an Emadd4(b6). On the original, there’s a b7 in there as well so Em7add4(b6), is a bit crazy…
You could keep paying this for the verse, especially verse 1, however, I felt when it’s just one guitar, it made more sense to add more notes, like this:
Here’s the bridge, notice that I’ve included the build-up to it as well (“there are hills and mountains”).
Again, I’ve developed it from the original recording as we only have one guitar. To keep it repetitive, I’ve maintained the rhythm almost throughout, the chords are pretty much exactly what they play.
