Here is a chord version of Redemption Song for the E-9. Should work on any E-9 (I have a Stage One). This is my first effort at tabbing out a song, and figured I'd do something a bit different (Reggae anyone? Well, it's not really reggae, but I doubt there are many doing Marley tunes on the PSG). Each verse pretty much repeats the same phrase twice, but the phrases are slightly different in the different verses....so, I took part of the first verse and part of the second verse and combined them to avoid repetition. Words are there to help with timing, etc.

E lowers the e's, F raises them. This symbol: ~ means sustain.

The transition at "All I ever had" is a bit tricky for a novice like me. I let strings 4 + 5 ring, block 6 with my thumb, and rock off of the B pedal to get the right note on 3, then use my middle finger nail to block 3 as I rock back on pedal B and hit the chord again. I suppose someone out there has a pedal that makes this easy....

I also figure a Boo-Wa pedal could get that intro another octave lower, which could be fun....

Comments and feedback welcome!
