anouk : one word album : hotel new york tabbed by : evert lancel on cd the song is played in a lower tuning ( D# ) . i here put it in standard tuning . if you want to play along with the song , than you need to either tune your guitar half a note lower , or make a copy of the song in higher pitch , using some free sound editing software ( audacity ) . that’s a lot easier than retuning all the time . chords in standard tuning : D add9 sus4 x54030 ( for short Dadd9 . . ) Am9 x05500 Dsus2 xx0230 Asus2 x02200 Em7 022030 ( i like 02x030 , because the basses come out stronger ) A#m7 x24232 G 355433 Csus2 x35533 the strumming rhythm is very important : the first short strums should be on the bass tones only and the short strums for the rest of the measure should emphasis the higher tones ( while playing the base strings as well . although it varies all the time ( just listen well ) , in A 16th measure it is basically like this ( v = strumming downwards , A = strumming upwards ) : | v - v - vava - - vava - - | ( Intro ) Dadd9 . .
