David Bowie
I Can't Give Everything Away (2015)
(David Bowie)

From: "Blackstar"

There are some tough decisions to make for this song. Multi-layered
instruments create sounds that are difficult to reproduce on a single
guitar. For this tab I decided to open the chords and include an open
G-string throughout. If that is too much for your taste, play regular
chords.
I put up two versions here, one without a capo, the second one with
capo on the first fret (less barree).
So, here’s my reading of this beautiful tune, enjoy!
