Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

| DEL AMITRI'S "ROLL TO ME" - BEGINNER VERSION |
------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to post an easier version of the song I came up with. You
can play the whole tune, including the more complex chords, by fretting
only power chords on the bottom three strings, and leaving the top
three strings open. Just tune your A and D strings up one step, and
your G string up one half step, so that you have an open E Major tuning,
then use a capo if you want different keys. Not the exact chords, but
they work.
Now get a 2nd guitar to play arpeggios, and a bass to play the roots,
and you've got a song your band can learn in about 10 minutes. :-)
TUNING: [-E-B-E-G#-B-E-] (open E major)
KEY: E Major (open) or F Major (capo I)
/ = strum: down on beats, up in between
//
||: :|| = repeat enclosed sections as marked
