Leon Bridges - Lisa sawyer

This young man's lesson is a good start for this tab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqkduIQXpGM The chords in the song are easy: Gmaj7 |3x443x| Am7 |5x505x| Bm7 |7x707x| (that open G is optional but I hit it for rhythm, gives the chord a spooky feel) The hard part is the syncopated soulful singing, I tried to capture it below but I'm sure it's not beat-for-beat correct. Have fun. 6/8 time capo 3 [Intro] Gmaj7 Gmaj7/E e|-------------|-------------| B|*------3-----|-------3----*| G|-----4---4---|-----4---4---| D|---4---------|---4---------| x6 A|*------------|------------*| E|-3---------3-|-0---------0-| Oooooo-oooh....
