Lets Stay Together by Al Green - Guitar Chords
Version 1
Version 2
Version 3
Version 4
Song: Let's stay together
Artist: Al Green
Composers: Al Green, Willie Mitchell and Al Jackson
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar-) 12th Oct 2014
CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of F)
The Gmadd9 and Gm have a Bb bass, but I felt the voicings below
worked better on guitar. You could just play a Gm/Bb (x20033)
in place of those two chords if you prefer.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Em9 = 020032 Bm9 = x20222 Gmaj7 = 320002
F#m7 = 242222 G = 320033 C#m = x46654
Em7 = 020000 Gmadd9 = xx5335 Fmaj7 = 133210
A7 = x02020 Gm = xx5333 Dmaj7 = xx0222
D = xx0232 B9 = x2122x
