Deep Blue - George Harrison
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: George Harrison
Originally the B-Side of the single "Bangla Desh". (1971)
Now a bonus track on the reissue of "Living In The Material World".
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
capo: 7th fret
play: E
key: B
Capo 7th fret makes it easy to play the riff (thank you Who66!).
But it is of course possible to play this song using different shapes:
Transpose -5 for the original key of B
Transpose +5 to play in A and use a capo 2nd fret to match the recording
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords and fret positions relative to capo.
