Nino Rota - The Godfather Love Theme measure = 4/4 tempo = 100 bpm in the key of Em Personally, I think it sounds best with capo on 3. All notes are consecutive eighth notes, with an exception in the bridge, where the skipped beat is marked with a "~". Remember that the bass strings E, A and D are only played with the thumb, and strings G, B and E are played with index, middle and ring finger respectively. |-------------0-3|-2-0-3-0-2-0----|-------------0-3|-2-0-3-0-2-0----|----------------| |-----------0----|-------------1-3|-0---0-----0----|-------------0--|-------------1-4| |----------------|----------------|---0---0--------|---------------3|-2---------2----| |----------------|----------------|---------2------|----------------|-----2----------| |----------------|---------0------|----------------|---------0------|-0-3---3-0------| |----------------|-0--------------|-0--------------|-0--------------|----------------| D7 Em |-2--------------|-0--------------|----------------|-----------0-0--| |-----1-------1-4|-----0-------0-3|-1-0-3-1-1-0-0--|---------------4| |---2---2---2----|---0---0---0----|----------------|----------------| |----------------|---------2------|---------------1|-2--------------| |-0-------0------|----------------|---------2------|---2---2--------| |----------------|-0--------------|-2--------------|-----3---0------| G F B7 |-------0-2-~-0--|----------------|----------------|-------------0-3| |-3-------------1|-0---------0-3-0|-------------1--|-0---------0----| |----------------|-----0----------|-2---------2---3|-----2----------| |-0-------0------|---0---0--------|-----3----------|---1---1--------| |---0------------|----------------|---3---3--------|-2-------2------| |-----2----------|-3-------3------|-1-------1------|----------------| |-2-0-2-0-2-0----|-------------0-3|-2-0-3-0-2-0----|----------------| |-------------1-3|-0---0-----0----|-------------0--|-------------1-4| |----------------|---0---0--------|---------------3|-2---------2----| |----------------|---------2------|----------------|-----2----------| |---------0------|----------------|---------0------|-0-3---3-0------| |-0--------------|-0--------------|-0--------------|----------------| D7 Em |-2--------------|-0--------------|----------------|-<12>-----------| |-----1-------1-4|-----0-------0-3|-1-0-3-1-1-0-0-4|-<12>-----------| |---2---2---2----|---0---0---0----|----------------|----------------| |----------------|---------2------|----------------|----------------| |-0-------0------|----------------|---------2------|----------------| |----------------|-0--------------|-2--------------|--0-------------| The last notes ( <12> ) on strings B and E are harmonics. If you are a beginner player, and you don't know what harmonics are, just play them open (0) to end the song. If you are an intermediate player, feel free to add some slides here and there. Let the bass notes ring out as long as possible. Enjoy!
