Lady Darbanville - Cat Stevens Tabbed by:vanswift E-mail:vanswift@portugalmail.pt Tuning:Standard Note 1: + -> harmonic Note 2: Where Cat Stevens goes D Em D as tabbed, there is the alternative D Dsus4 D which is easier to time and sounds fine Note 3: The song is played with 2 guitars. For example, the only thing Cat Stevens plays on the opening riff is the harmonic on the e string which is a bit tricky to make ring true and on time using one guitar alone. In the same way, the end of the riffs are enriched by an arpeggio in D or Em on the second guitar during the first section and in the second the second guitar plays D and Em arpeggios between the riffs which are doable on a single guitar but not quite the same Basically, this is an approximation for one guitar so the sound is somewhat less rich than when they play it. Sorry, life ain't fair :-) Enjoy.
