Time After Time - Eva Cassidy transcribed by Keith Bray (kebray@email.com) (eighth notes, in 4/4 time) This TAB version is non capo. The actually song I believe is played with a capo on the 2nd fret and played differently then the tab below. The tab below was simply my 1st stab at how to play it. It is still correct, but maybe I'll post the capo version some day which is easier to play. ============================================================================ Notation notes: Notated notes are in 1/8th notes, so I've tried to show all 8 counts per measure. Sustained counts are shown as periods meaning --2.--- means sustain that note as though it were a quarter note. Hammers are indicated and only take up a total of one eighth note meaning 4h5 gets 1/8 a beat in 4/4 time. () around a note means it is mostly optional. This transcription isn't perfect, but it is darn close. I never follow this exactly though. Just learn the chords and put your own picking style to it. ===========================================================================
