^ÓLittle Willow^Ô Written and Performed by Paul McCartney (Flaming Pie ^Ö 1997) Tabbed by Lindsay Stamhuis (macca05@beatlemail.com) This is my first shot at tabbing, but I think I did a fairly good job! This song was already archived (by Phil Callan) but it was only the chords, so I listened very closely to the song to get the finger-picking to sound right. The chords below are all what he came up with, except in his tab, the Em/D was written as Asus4 ^Ö I think the way I^Òve written it is the correct way, his was just one string off. For the sake of efficiency, I^Òm only going to tab the first and second verses and the chorus, because it^Òs very repetitious. The basic structure goes like this:
-Intro -Verse 1 -Verse 2 -Chorus -Verse 3 (same as verse 1) -Verse 4 (same as verse 1) -Instrumental 1 (same as verse 2) -Chorus -Verse 1 -Verse 2 -Instrumental 2 xxxxx Intro: D Em/D D Em/D -------2-------3-------2-------3 -----3-------5-------3-------5-- ---2-------4-------2-------4---- -0-------0-------0-------0------ -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Verse 1: D Em/D D Em/D D Em/D D Em/D -------2-------3-------2-------3-------2-------3-------2-------3 -----3-------5-------3-------5-------3-------5-------3-------5-- ---2-------4-------2-------4-------2-------4-------2-------4---- -0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bend... winds... hard and cold tonight Verse 2: D Em/D D Em/D D Em/D D D7 -------2-------3-------2-------3-------2-------3-------2-------2 -----3-------5-------3-------5-------3-------5-------3-------1-- ---2-------4-------2-------4-------2-------4-------2-------2---- -0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Life...
