Another wonderful song from Adele Played on Jools Holland 'Later' November 2010 prior to its release on the

'21' album in 2011. That Jools performance was accompanied by piano, but an arpeggiated acoustic guitar works beautifully with the song too. This song is best picked rather than strummed, just playing simple patterns on the basic chords. I have added suggestions for the picking pattern at the bottom of the tab. Tuning: EADGBE Chords ====== D Dmaj7 F#m A A/Ab E Bm C#m Intro ===== A A/Ab F#m D Verse 1 ======= A A/Ab I heard that you're settled down F#m That you found a girl D And you're married now A A/Ab I heard that your dreams came true F#m Guess she gave you things D I didn't give to you A A/Ab Old friend why are you so shy F#m It ain't like you to hold back D Or hide from life xx0232 xx0222 244222 x02220 4x2220 022100 x24432 466544

I hope the following will assist! OK. The numbers on the strings should relate to which finger to use 't' is thumb, 1,2,3 are 1st, 2nd, 3rd fingers respectively! So the D chord (xx0232) picked like this E-------------------| B-----2-------2-----| G---1---1---1---1---| D-t-------t---------|t...... etc A-------------------| E-------------------| The A chord (x02220) like this! nb finger '3' can be left out or played simultaneously with '2'! E---------------------------| B-------3-----------3-------| G-----2---2-------2---2-----| D---1-------1---1-------1---| A-t-----------t-------------|t....etc E---------------------------| ...and so on for the other chords. Luckily for us all, although Adele is magnificent, she plays guitar in a quite simple style! I hope I've done it justice! Kevin O'Brien Watford England October 2010 watfordkev@gmail.com
