LOVE STORY - Taylor Swift
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
-------------------------------------Notes---------------------------------------
Most of this tab came from Alex <3 Declan. I changed part of it to match the way I
it from Fox-x-x's video. Both ways sound good, I
think the way I learned it is closer to the way it is played on the record. I also
the a tab for the solo in this. I couldn't find
it any where so I tabbed it out my self. I know it's far from perfect but it isn't even
by guitar on the record so I think it's good
enough. I also corrected Alex <3 Declan's chord chart. His chart is in the key of C and
tab is in D. I changed it so they are both in
D.

-------------------------Note-----------------------------
The pattern I use here is a different. Let the x's represent what ever the notes in the
are. For the D chord, you won't use the 5th
and 6th stings so you would play the muted ones on the 4th string. This is just a
guide. I don't play this part exactly.

The "I got tired of" is on the 3 + 4 + of the last bar of the solo. The "waiting" starts
Bm.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bm G D A
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
Bm G
My faith in you was fading
D A
Then I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
-------------------------------Note--------------------------------
My favorite part of the song here. Be sure to really build this. I use power chords and
really mute them starting off then let the mute
out and get stronger until I'm playing full force at the key change
--------------------------------------------------------------------
D
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G A
He nelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
----------------------------Note----------------------------------
Key Change: Chords here are a lot of fun to play. Basically power chords on the A string
you let all the other strings ring.

Thanks to all the people who tabbed this before me, this is really a combination of all
stuff I found that worked for me and my small
contribution of the solo. Also, for more information on how to play this with just a
check out the karaoke track, you can find it
on youtube.
