Dollar Days – David Bowie
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: David Bowie
From: "Blackstar" (2015)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Two versions here:
VERSION 1 easier to play in the verses (less barree); I think the acoustics
on Bowie's recording are played this way (no acoustics in the
chorus sections)
VERSION 2 no capo, more barree but a lot of bottom end (open E-string)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 1
capo: 3rd fret
play: Em
key: Gm / Em
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
