Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E

These are the chords to the Capital Cities' version of Nothing Compares 2 U (earlier versions by Prince and Sinead O'Connor). The time signature and phrase length change several times throughout the song, so if you're having difficulties with rhythms, I suggest listening to this version about fifty million and a half times before trying to learn it. For all of this tab, each written chord should signify the one measure of four beats. This is how I play the tasty chords without barres: Fmaj7 or Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Em7/G Dm7 Am/D e|--0--------0------0------0-----1----5---| B|--1--------1------0------0-----1----5---| G|--2--------2------0------0-----2----5---| D|--3--------3------2------0-----0----0---| A|--3--------3------3------2-----x----x---| E|--1--------x------x------3-----x----x---| ^thumb Capo 1 [Intro] F C Am Em7 Em7 E7 F C Am D D Dm7 [Verse 1] (Triplet feel)
