Capo: 3
Artist: Tim Buckley Song: Song to the siren Album: The dream belongs to me Tabbed by: DJ 8th Oct 2014 The Monkees TV version, found on the 'Morning Glory' album, is in correct concert pitch, but his 12 string guitar is tuned down a semi -tone. He plays the chords as below, in D, but he has his capo at the 3rd fret. So, allowing for the half-step de-tuning, the song sounds in E. To achieve the same key as the clip there is no need to de-tune from standard tuning, just have your capo at the 2nd fret instead. Video clip at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2NkUmIH83U The original 1968 acoustic version of this song can be found on the compilation album 'The dream belongs to me'. De-tune slightly if matching to the track, as the guitar is slightly flat of concert pitch. CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in key of E) Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo: D4 = xx0233 Cadd9#11 = x30032 A = x02220 D = xx0232 G/B = x20033 G = 320033 Csus2 = x30033 Gmaj7/B = x20032 Bm = x24432 ****** [Verse 1]

****** [N.B. The version on the 1970 'Starsailor' album sounds in Bb, (probably played in G, with a capo at the 3rd fret) and the recording doesn't sound quite up to concert pitch. Also the third verse lyric is different from other versions- 'I am puzzled as the newborn child, I am as riddled as the tide' The original 'The dream belongs to me' version had the line about the oyster, someone laughed at that lyric, so he changed it for the 'Starsailor' album.]
