Bottles To The Ground

This is based on the official tab but arranged for solo performance. I had to get creative naming the chords I use in the verse. They’re not even real chords but it was the best way to keep the droning sound alive with one acoustic guitar. Feel free to play with these until you get the sound you want. /    x 7 9 0 x x               x 3 2 0 1 0 -or- x 3 5 5 5 3    [You can use either open or /   x 6 8 0 x x               3 2 0 0 3 3 -or- 3 5 5 4 3 3     barre chords; both sound good. I /    x 5 7 0 x x               x x 3 2 1 1 -or- 1 3 3 2 1 1     use open chords but use what you /   x 4 6 0 x x              x 0 2 2 1 0 -or- 5 7 7 5 5 5     like best. Makes no difference.] C3+5    x 3 2 0 x x           At the end of the verses the C3+5 is really just the lowest three strings of the open C chord. As you play through the last line segue into the full C chord the same way you would build from a palm-mute when you’re plugged in. The parts that are tabbed aren’t anything official either (but they’re based on the official tab). They’re adaptations I like to use for fun. Modify them to suit your tastes.
