Question Tab

by Rhett Miller


Alright the other version of this is unplayable to me. So I'm tabbing this out because
really simple. First of all, it's clearly in drop D because a low D is in the bass line.
other tabber missed that and it's so important. Although it makes it more difficult to 
it sounds much better. There are still certain things about this song that mystify
but this is as accurate as i can get.

CHORDS: (use thumb on 6th string when necessary, which is frequent, denoted by "t")

clarification: notes in parenthesis are the bass note.

       ()  ()   ()  ()     
e|--0----0----0---0---1---1-----1----3--------|
B|--1----1----1---5---1---1-----1----3---3----|
G|--0----0----2---5---2---2-----2----4---3----|
D|--2----2----2---7---3---3-----3----5---3----|

As for the little transition runs, they're very simple, so just listen for them in the song.

He took her to the park  she crossed her arms and lowered her eye lids

                                 
Someday somebody's gonna ask you

                                                
A question that you should say yes to once in your life

                                 
Maybe tonight Ive got a question for you


--Same pattern as above throughout this section:


She'd had no idea she started to cry she said in a good way

He took her by the hand walked her back home they took the long way

Someday somebody's gonna ask you

A question that you should say yes to once in your life

Maybe tonight

Ive got a question for you

--back to beginning progression twice and end on C.
