  Fast car - Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman

  

  Hi, this is a little variation on the song fast car. It is played twice on

  her cd. This is the main theme.

  			Fast Car:

  e-----------0----0----------|5------4----4--------     Repeat this over, and 

  B--T------------------------|---------------------over, until the bridge "I re-

  D--B--7-----7----------7----|7------7--------7----where the following chords

  A---------------------------|---------------------come in:

  E---------------------------|---------------------

  D--B--7-----7----------7----|7------7--------7----where the following chords

  A---------------------------|---------------------come in:

  E---------------------------|---------------------

  

  	D, for one measure, A for one measure, F#m(244222) for a measure, Esus  

  (022200) for a measure, then a measure in which a D and F#m are given equal  

  time, followed by a measure of E.  Repeat the last two measures, then play one  

  with a D and E.  Back to the repeating riff.

  

  

  This is what I've got for Fast Car by Tracy Chapman:

  

  I'm not going to post the words, b/c I don't know them. But this is

  a decnt compromise on the continual riff throughout the song, 

  considering I can't play bass and acoustic guitars at the same time.

  Oh, and yes, I did this by listening to the CD.

  

  

       1   2   3   4    1   2   3   4      repeat...

  

  e---|-------0---0----|-5-----4---4----|

  B-T-|-2-3-2----------|----------------|

  G-A-|-2-----------2--|-----2-------2--|  

  D-B-|-0--------------|----------------|

  A---|-------0--------|----------------|

  E---|----------------|-2-----0--------|

  

  I apologize if my notation is unconventional, but this is my first

  TAB post attempt. It's a little tricky to play this version, but I 

  can manage it by keeping my index finger on the G, and by cheating 

  with my thumb for the E bass notes. The bridge/chorus(?) chords are

  posted elsewhere.
