Big Black Car tab by Gregory Alan Isakov

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Play the whole song in long-short rhythm.


Verse Pattern:
Repeats for during all verses. For the fret 1 on the low E string I wrap my thumb around the top of the neck.
e|----------------|----------------|
B|----1-----1-----|----1-----1-----|
G|--0-----0---0---|--0-----0-----0-|repeat enough
D|--------------2-|----------------|to get through verse
A|0---------------|------3-----2---|
E|------3---------|1---------------|
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

Transition between Verses and before each Chorus:
e|-----------------|----------------|
B|-----------------|----------------|
G|--0----0---0---0-|--0---0---0---0-|repeat
D|----0h2----------|----------------|  2x
A|0--------3---0---|----0---3---0---|
E|-----------------|3---------------|
  1 + 2    3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

Intro Pattern:
Just the Verse Pattern with extra hammer-ons. The tricky part is walking down from 3 to 2 on the A string
in the second measure because you need to switch between your ring finger and middle finger and use the
other finger to do the hammer-on.
The hammer-ons are triplets.
e|----------------|-------------------|--0-----0-----0-|----0-----0-----|
B|----1-----1-----|---1----1----1----1|1-----1-----1---|--1-----1-----1-|
G|--0-----0---0---|0h2--0h2--0h2--0h2-|------------0---|--0-----0-----0-|
D|--------------2-|-------------------|----------------|----------------|
A|0---------------|----------3----2---|0---------------|------3-----2---|
E|------3---------|1------------------|------3---------|1---------------|
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1    2    3    4    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

That's it.
Get these three parts down and then just strum the chords to the Choruses.
There are plenty of tabs with the chords so I won't add them here.
