Count to Ten Tina Dickow
Tina Dico - Count To Ten
Tabbed by lwm89
Capo on 2nd fret
Chords used:
Am x02210
Am/G 3x2210
Am/F 1x2210
Am/E 0x2210
Basically you just finger the 2nd and 3rd strings on the 2nd fret and change the bass
note as required. You can use your thumb over the neck to play the F on the 6th string.
This is the picking pattern used throughout the song e.g. for Am:
[Am]
e|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| B|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| G|-----2-------2-|-----2-------2-|-----2-------2-|-----2-------2-| D|---2---0h2-2---|---2---0h2-2---|---2---0h2-2---|---2---0h2-2---| A|-0-------------|-0-------------|-0-------------|-0-------------| E|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
T i m T i m
Right hand fingerpicking: T = thumb, i = index, m = middle. Tina uses a thumb pick which
accentuates the bass notes nicely.
When the chord has an asterisk (*), switch to this pattern:
[Am]
e|---------------------------| B|---------------------------| G|-----2-----2------2------2-| D|---2-----2------2------2---| A|-0-----0------0------0-----| E|---------------------------| etc...
T i m T i m
For the last Am/G in the chorus (**), just pluck the 6th string once and let it ring.
Intro: Am
Verse 1:
T[Am]here are faces, there are smiles, so many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all ar[Am/G]ound me
I'm w[Am]atching, I'm breathing, I'm pushing, I'm wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so l[Am/G]oudly
I have [Am/F]burnt down once before, I've pulled m[Am/G]yself up from the floor
And I am [Am/F]looking for a reason to stay s[Am/G]tanding
But som[Am]etimes it's just too much, it's not enough, it's something else
It's so much bigger than my head, it's too de[Am/G]manding
Chorus:
S[Am/F]ometimes the fa[Am/G]stest way to get there is to go s[Am]low
And s[Am/F]ometimes when you w[Am/G]anna hold on you got to let[Am] go
Am/G* Am* Am/G* Am/F* Am
I'm gonna close my eyes, and count to ten
Am/G* Am* Am/G* Am/F* Am/E*
I'm gonna close my eyes, and when I open them again
Am/F* Am/G** Am
Everything will make sense to me then
Verse 2: played exactly the same as 1st verse
I have met so many people, we've exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said nothing but it's changed us
I have know a lot of men, some were lovers, some were friends
But all together were they merely passing strangers?
They'll control you with their silence, they'll control you with their words
And you'll control them with your body's coded signals
In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into each other's hidden pitfalls
Second chorus is same as before until the last line where it goes into the bridge:
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes, and when I open them again
Am/F* Am/G* Am/F Am/G Am
Everything will make sense to me then
Bridge:
[Am/F] [Am/G] [Am]
[Am/F] [Am/G] [Am]
[Am/F] [Am/G] [Am]
Final chorus: same as the first time (end song with open 5th string)
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes, and when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
