No Other Name Tab

by Peter Paul And Mary


This song is recorded in the key of Eb, so you must capo on the first fret to match the
pitch. The right-hand pattern is an arpeggio in waltz time (3/4) with the thumb leading
a predominantly down-scale movement. Noel plays a hammer-on on the 1st string 2nd fret
often and always drops in a D7 when he makes the turn into the bridge.

Note - - -the chord referred to as ‘Bm-barre' is a standard Bm minus the first-finger
It is not meant to be strummed but instead worked into the arpeggio pattern with the thumb
on the open 5th string.
