Tuning: E A D G B E
Read Me My Rights by Brantley Gilbert. I decided to make this tab after seeing someone complain that there are no good country tabs. That said, hopefully mine is actually right. I used two other tabs and made some tweaks to each while making this. Here they are, much credit to those who made them(shouldn't let this go to my head, I'm making it sound like I won a friggin nobel prize): https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/brantley_gilbert/read_me_my_rights_tabs_1831071 https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/brantley_gilbert/read_me_my_rights_chords_1780059 Enjoy! -Tune down a half step- I find the chords sound best using bar chords for almost all. The B7 sounds fine regular(not even sure how to play it as a bar chord). Play the rest as bar chords with root notes on the E and A strings- the closer to the neck the better. I find the D chord sounds the best if you play it with both the D root note on the 5th fret A string and also add the 5th fret E string to give it a lower sound. The C chord might also sound better if you play it in the same fashion- I can't decide personally. If I take the time to figure out the solo I may add it later on, we shall see. Here it is!
