AFFIRMATION
(Savage Garden)
1999
Tabbed by David Tyson
[NOTE 1: Daniel uses a capo on fret 1, and all chords are relative to
the capo. For instance, without the capo, 'A' would be played
as 'Bb' (x13331). Most chords are played as fifth root barres. ]
[NOTE 2: All chords last for two beats, except the 'Dsus4-D'transition
where both chords last for one beat each, and the 'E' chord in
the pre-chorus', which lasts for four beats. This should help
with timing etc. It's not a hard song! ]
