                          TOKYO - Lianne La Havas

Tabbed by:ndermawan

Tuning: Standard


Lovely song by Lianne La Havas. So much groove and soul in this!


Disclaimer:
E|-----------| 

Intro uses either 2 guitars or some type of delay effect.
Not sure if mine is 100% correct, but sounds good enough to me.

The song is very bass-heavy, so don't be surprised if it doesnt sound 100% when played
with guitar only.

Chords listed above lyrics, for details on bass parts etc look at bottom of page


Please rate if it helped! Always open to corrections/suggestions.

===============================================================================


[Intro] use which ever picking variation sounds best to you
        - First option is high on fret board but keeps the same strings so you can slide up/down

How to play prechorus if strumming: Basically Em chord throughout, changing bass
