Hey all, his is my first tab so I guess it's a work in progress. There weren't any tabs around for Most of Frankie's songs, so i decided to try. This is of the guitar version (not portuguese guitar)! On youtube it's the one with footage from "Into the Wild." I learned it by ear, and there is only one section I'm not sure of in the bridge. It sounds like he puts it on a loop or something. I typically hum or whistle the notes, but I'll include them for the melody, and if someone finds a creative way to fit them with the picking, do let me know! I also use my foot to make an audible beat, which flows pretty well with the song. I've included it in the tabs just to help with tempo in some sections. Any suggestions, feel free to email me. Form: - Intro - Verse - Chorus - Intro - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus - Outro * Marks the beat to show tempo. Use feet to do it. The Recorded version is around 128 bpm I believe.
