Toms Diner

The original album track was sung 'a cappella', and there have been many alternative dance mixes and various live and acoustic versions since. This is my own interpretation for an acoustic guitar accompaniment. I've included TWO VERSIONS, the first one is like the DNA mix which took the original Coda and repeated it as Choruses, the second one is just the Verses with a Coda, as in the original acapella version. CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the original recorded key of F#m) NOTE: Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might automatically suggest and use the typed shapes shown below: Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo: Emadd9 = 022002 or 024000 G6 = 355400 Em = 022000 Cmaj7 = 3x2000 or 3x5000 Fmaj7#11 = 133200 B7 = 2x1202 Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for this tab ==================================================================== DNA MIX VERSION with Choruses: (Emadd9) (Cmaj7) Da - da!
