A Natural Woman | TAB

Let’s look at TAB for each section, designed to be played on just one acoustic guitar. Here are three ideas for the intro, as you can see, you don’t need to play all notes to put the idea across.

I feel idea 3 is the best as you want to start gently.

Here’s the verse, the chords have been extended to work better on just one guitar. The rhythm is also varied to make it feel more like a soul piano part.

Here’s the bridge, check out how the string part is included in the first bar.

Next, here’s the chorus. With TAB, it’s more clear why I feel you should say F – /A, rather than F – F/A. You could argue that the last chord should be called F6 or Dm/F.

Finally, here’s the m8 section, the Gm is chord Vm, very unusual. To play like the TAB says, you need to use the thumb on string 6 for the Gm chord, at least for the second half of the bar.
