It Takes Two | TAB

Intro + Instrumental

This is the string line played during the intro, the instrumental section, and also at the end of each chorus.

Verse

Here’s the verse. On the recording, the guitar mostly repeats bar 1, so play along and decide which version works best for your arrangement.

Chorus

Using these examples, it’s straightforward to put everything together with the chord chart or the chords and lyrics.
