FourFiveSeconds – Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Kanye West/Paul McCartney/Kirby Lauryen/Mike Dean/Tyrone Griffin/
Dave Longstreth/Dallas Austin/Elon Rutberg/Noah Goldstein
Released in 2016
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

CHORDS
The recording most prominently features the acoustic guitar (verse and chorus)
and an organ (middle 8). The bass plays a D as the root for the G major chord
in the verses. Playing alone I'd suggest the follwing:
E-A-D-G-B-e
G/D x-x-0-0-3-3
Asus4 x-0-2-2-3-x
From what I hear, McCartney plays different voicings in the verse:
D x-x-7-7-7(10)
G(/D) x-x-9-7-8(10)
Bm x-x-9-7-7-x
A x-x-7-6-5-x
(no acoustic guitar at all in the middle 8)
