Tin-Legs and Tin Mines Midnight Oil
By Midnight Oil
From the "Real thing" album
Tabbed by Jo
This is a very nice song from the Oils. The chord chart given down
there for the verses is a transcription of the piano part.
The guitar actually only plays a few arpeggios on the basis of
these chords.
Intro part
The intro is made of two patterns, only changing the bass note.
Let ring and listen to the CD to get the rythm right.
The structure is the following :
Pattern A (4 times)
Patten B
Pattern A (twice)
Pattern B
Pattern A (twice)
Then into the first verse...
e-II------------------------I--------------------------| B-II--------------0--------I---------0-----------------| G-II------------3--3------I------------3---------------| Pattern A D-II------------------4---I---------------4------------| A-II----------------------I----------------------------| E-II-----0----------------I------2---------------------| e-II------------------------I--------------------------| B-II--------------0--------I---------0-----------------| G-II------------3--3------I------------3---------------| Pattern B D-II------------------4---I---------------4------------| A-II----6------------------I---6-----------------------| E-II-----------------------I---------------------------|

They are only used as variations on the basic chord
