Give it Up – Amos Lee
The chords below are the basic chords, the adds and sus’s in parentheses are the notes
hammer onto/off of.
You should play the Em7 up the neck at the seventh fret:
—0
—8
—7
—0
—7
—0
Play the A7 as a barre on the 5th fret when you add the 9 (hammer your pinky onto the
fret of the top string), and as an open chord when you play the add 6 (alternating you
between 3rd and 2nd frets on the top string).
For the G sus, play an open G and hammer onto the 1st fret of the B string for the 4-3 suspension.
And for the love of God, put some funk into your strumming. Please? Do it for me.
