good tab on this one your 75% on your tabs, im wondering about the Em though,
maybe a different chord, but i will try and see if any other chord variations
that fit, thanks for the starting tab though my friend, you get the songs that
are just hitting the charts, your a good man
-meow_meow | 8/24/2003 |
the "Em" is correct...you can try all the progressions, structures you want:)
-palamin0 | 8/24/2003 |
OK, I have had an opportunity to play along
with this song a few times and the only chords I would change is the Bm to F#m
on the Hmm, hmm, hm's. its still a ten but I
think that chord fits better. Just my opinion
for what ever its worth.
-rawood | 8/25/2003 |
rawood my friend you are correct,
it does go to the F#m there instead of Bm.
thanx for the correction:)
the tab has been corrected:)
-palamin0 | 8/25/2003 |
how do you make the F#m chord?
and why ain't don't you use a capo for the song when toby does in the video?
-Chirs_Cagle | 8/28/2003 |
well for one.....
THis was tabb'd way before the video came out.......
and if ya need a capo just slap
one on your fret board and transpose away
since ya seen how he did it in the video:)
-palamin0 | 8/29/2003 |
I think playing F#m as a barre chord sounds
better and it's easier to transition from
the Em. Try 244222.
-fishman2002 | 8/30/2003 |
I think you guys nailed it... good work...
-Jof76 | 8/30/2003 |
this tab is correct to the bone. ive been playing for 12 years
and i can pretty much play whatever i hear. and this is exactly what
i hear when toby does it. good job. and by the way, liike you said,
who gives a hoot about the lyrics or grammer or all that proper bulls!
@#$. this is countryTABS
-frodaddy5 | 9/12/2003 |
All I gotta say is it's tabbed right
-cooperreese | 9/14/2003 |
Excellent tab! If you want lyrics go to www.lyred.com
-Daniel Kleeson | 9/15/2003 |
Ya'll did a d@mn good job pulling out these chords. But is their a
capo on or not. Ya'll let me know. GO OLE'MISS
-texrebel | 9/16/2003 |
nope no capo:)
on my tabs I put above the intro chords if there is a capo used and capo placement:)
-palamin0 | 9/17/2003 |
i havent played for very long but, i think that your voice has a lot
to do with weather or not you use a capo. I have followed palaminO's
tabs since i joined, dont worry about all the misconstrewed coments
palaminO, there are plenty of us whom admire your great work. keep
it coming pal.
-BIGCOUNTRY98 | 9/19/2003 |
BIGCOUNTRY98 thanks so much for such a nice complement, that make's it all worth it:)
-palamin0 | 9/22/2003 |
good job guys, i have to kapo everything in the second fret to fit
my voice. it sounds ok with the cords you have.but the drunks i play
with won't know the difference anyway
-GIG-1 | 9/23/2003 |
Will Someone Please Tell me The right way to
Play "F#m" Please,palamin0 How Do You Play
It,I Would Appreciate It very Much If You
Would Tell Me....
-grizzly | 9/27/2003 |
F#m can be:
x44222 or 244222
or
xx4222
there are many ways to play an F#m as with any othe chord:)
-palamin0 | 9/28/2003 |
Good job on this tab. To anyone who rips anyone else's tabs/chords
on this site, quit b***hing and tab it yourself, or shut up and go
away.
-awd340 | 10/2/2003 |
I just started playing the acoustic guitar last year and this site
has been a God sent to someone who wants to play the new songs.
Since I don't consider myself an expert, all I can consider if the
chords go with the lyrics. Sounds good to me when I'm playing the
chords donated by nice people who take the time to give us the
chords.
-rhvalen | 10/2/2003 |
excellent job Palamin0...
-avengerkid | 10/3/2003 |
GOOD TAB MAN! WAR DAMN EAGLE
-ABERNATHY_AU | 10/6/2003 |
how about the lead tabed out
-DR50 | 10/9/2003 |
Great gob on the tab.
-rtcc | 10/11/2003 |
Palamin0 keep on tabbin these songs man. I can normally pick out
songs myself, but if I can't, I know I can count on you having the
song done. Thanks again man
-southrnthunder1 | 10/14/2003 |
i played this tab with the song and the chords are all correct so it
sounds though i havent taken a close look but yes the place ment is
a tiny bit off but overall great job
-guitarfreakbt50 | 10/25/2003 |
i will tab out the lead and solo in the next week or so. we just
started playing it in the bars. your tab is right, by the way
-jmuelss | 10/30/2003 |
great tab,sounds great ,hit it right on the head
-minookajoe | 11/8/2003 |
good tab sounds great
-1tawdy1 | 11/18/2003 |
Can anyone tell me if I can play something besides F#m in the
refrain...I can't figure out how to play that chord? Thanks
-BaggerVAnce | 11/19/2003 |
Go to Wal-Mart, look in the posters, You should find a Guitar
Chord Poster, it's great.
-detectorbill | 11/19/2003 |
i think another way to play f#m is X44200, it sounds more like a
suspended chord...i think it sounds tight. when you play the chord
though, you can strum all 6 strings, and mute the bottom E with
whatever finger you have on the A string. if it helps at all.
-jimmyjack | 11/20/2003 |
I think it's great!! Good job. If you want chord variations go
to www.chordfind.com. You can enter a chord and it will give you
variations also.
-AllanS33 | 11/21/2003 |
To make F#m easier...since it is part of a walkup you could play
it like this: 244xxx that way you still get those bass notes
which make it sound more like the song.
For the record a normal F#m is played like this: 244222 For those
who haven't gotten into bar chords yet hold down (or bar) the 2nd
fret with your index finger.
-Shantel | 11/26/2003 |
Can you please help with the Bm chord. Thanks for the tab!
-graham | 11/28/2003 |
Bm = x24432 (bar chord) or xx4432
-Shantel | 12/1/2003 |
Great Tab! Keep them Coming!
-BandPforever | 12/1/2003 |
Does anyone have the midi for this song...I am looking for the drum
track for my drum machine. Where is a good place to get country midi
files (for free)????
-d35355 | 12/14/2003 |
Thanks for the lyrics, one of these days I may learn how to play.
Until then I'll keep on singing. My first time here this is the best
site yet for country. Thanks. Joe !
-rockshop | 1/14/2004 |
Hey FOOFEE, if you don't like the song, why click on it. Go ahead
and keep playing your "lame" songs. You must not be that musical
since you can't even tell a good song when you see one. In my
opinion "I Love This Bar" is one of Toby's greatest songs. I don't
care what you say.
-nunzbomb | 1/20/2004 |
Hey FOOFEE, or whatever, this song brings on
so much chatter because all the "chatters"
seem to like it. I don't doubt the fact
that you have musical talent, if you do,
but don't come in and slam others for
liking it and wanting to learn to play.
That's just rude!
-RUFNECK_25 | 1/25/2004 |
Actually the way that it is tabbed is pretty close to perfect and
there is no doubt that it is in the right key. PalaminO usually
doesn't have many mistakes but your welcome to your own opinion.
-nunzbomb | 1/29/2004 |
in my opinion this is an excellent chord pro for this song, although
i prefer the regular E chord in place of your E7. Thanks for the hard
work sounds great!
-DALEJR8FAN | 2/7/2004 |
If FOFEE did not like this song, the why in the world would you have clicked on it to see the tab. Surely you have more exciting songs to spend your time on. Great Tab!!!!
-wlc74 | 2/26/2004 |
Comment by: lmofle | 2/27/2004
Why do you guys waste your time looking at
these tabs. You should only look at mine.
I'm by far the best tabber on the site.
That was NOT Larry. I wish the sneaky little
(expletive) would let me know his IP address
so I could drop him a nice little cpu bomb...
Man how weak is it to get on someone else's
name and post BS messages...he knows Korry
isn't gonna ban Larry, so he'll say what he
wants and everyone will just think Larry's an
idiot...man that makes me mad.
-Smoothie7745 | 2/28/2004 |
great tab keep up the good work. Can always rely on you for an A+ tab.
-nunzbomb | 2/29/2004 |
hey FOOFE or whatever your name is. Guess what Buddy...I'm a
professional to. I play in full concert bands. Before you start
complaining about something...you must remember that you too started
out in humble roots of playing. Don't ever lose sight of
that. Some of these people are just starting to tab, some are
experienced. EVERYBODY makes a mistake...even you bucko. Don't
forget it.
P.S.
There is an old adage that you might want to remember. "If you don't
have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all"
-zizzy34 | 3/1/2004 |
This tab is very well done , over the electric accoustic it's sounds amazing , good job to whom tabbed it out.
-Happycampr | 3/26/2004 |
GREAT TAB!!!!!!! Loved it
but i would like to make a small suggestion
when it does the
Em F#m G
hmm, hmm, hm,
use ure number 3&4 finger 4 the Em then slid it down 2 frets and bar the 2nd fret 4 the F#m then slie the F#m down 1 fret 2 make the G i think this works better and is easier then going all over the place w/ the 3 chords and you can do it faster
e------2---3----------
b------2---3----------
g------2---3----------
d--2---4---5----------
a--2---4---5----------
E------2---3----------
-Southernrocker7 | 5/1/2004 |
Being a beginner - can someone help me with the strumming pattern? Thanks
-csweber | 7/19/2004 |
as for stumming pattern, i would play the song on the radio and play along. thast the best thing about chord tabs, you can play the song however you want.
-coleburn | 7/25/2004 |
csweber, as lame as it may be, use a karaoke
cd. I'm a beginner too and the kcd is great
because there are no vocals to cover the music.
-singindad | 8/9/2004 |
This is an awesome tab....I did not know that one song could generate this much commentary...if you know of another tab that has more comments let me know...keep on tabbin.
-ehuddpitch | 11/17/2004 |
Can someone please explain to me the x's and the numbering system in the tabs.i.e. x44222 or xx4222. i do not know what they mean or I should say how to read them. I play a F#m by putting my index finger on the second fret first three strings and my ring finger on string 4 and 5. i have fat fingers so i can play two strings at once. real curious about the numbering system though.
-Flydtmn | 11/29/2004 |
x44222 or xx4222
X = closed string or don't play
0 = open string
6 = 6th fret
5 = 5th fret
4 = 4th fret
3 = 3rd fre
2 = 2nd fret
1 - 1st fret
Strings = E - A - D - G - B - E
Frets = X 4 4 2 2 2
there are some great lessons on this site
by some great guitarists here that will
help you. Look on the left-hand side under
menu click on "Lessons" hope this helps
-palamin0 | 11/30/2004 |
Thanks for your time. I now understand it. Quite easy actually.
-Flydtmn | 11/30/2004 |
wow !!!!! this is a lot of freakin' comments for one tab
p.s. great tab man
-chevyguy | 12/25/2004 |
I'm a biggenier guitar player and all and I know all the chords in the song but when you are reading this how do you know what rythm to strum to like up down up down or something? Help!? my e-mail is SHEPANK@aol.com
-SHEPANK | 2/15/2005 |
Just a suggestion but the progression everyone is debating is played in a lot of classic songs as: Em D/F# G A with D/F# being
e2
B3
G2
D0
A0
E2
-dcef | 3/18/2005 |
