Dark Horse  by Katy Perry

Dark Horse tab by Katy Perry (Ver. 3)

Guitar tabs

There is a weird transition from capo1 to capo5 after the intro but it's not
too hard. Just a practice strumming the final cord in the opening and sliding
the capo somewhat opened to the 5th fret to start the rest of the song. May
even work if you palm mute the final strum.

Chorus: Strum D D U D U D

 C      Csus2      Em7      Dadd11          C
 So you wanna play with magic, Boy, you should know what you're falling for

 C      Csus2      Em7       Dadd11       C
 Baby do you dare to do this? Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

    Csus2       Em7 Dadd11           C
 Are you ready for, ready for. A perfect storm, perfect storm.

   Csus2                Em7 Dadd11      C
 Cause once you're mine, once you?re mine... There's no going back

 Mark my words...This love will make you levitate
 Like a bird...Like a bird without a cage
 But down to earth...If you choose to walk away,

 It's in the palm of your hand now baby
 It's a yes or no, no maybe
 So just be sure before you give it all to me
 All to me, give it all to me

Chorus: Strum D D U D U D

 C      Csus2      Em7      Dadd11          C
 So you wanna play with magic, Boy, you should know what you're falling for

 C      Csus2      Em7       Dadd11       C
 Baby do you dare to do this? Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

    Csus2       Em7 Dadd11           C
 Are you ready for, ready for. A perfect storm, perfect storm.

   Csus2                Em7 Dadd11      C
 Cause once you're mine, once you?re mine... There's no going back

Bridge: So the bridge is tricky for timing it takes listening to the song a
few times for queues on where to start but for the most part it's the same
chords as the chorus just finger picked.

  C      Csus2      Em7      Dadd11          C
 So you wanna play with magic, Boy, you should know what you're falling for

 C      Csus2      Em7       Dadd11       C

    Csus2       Em7 Dadd11           C
 Are you ready for, ready for. A perfect storm, perfect storm.

   Csus2                Em7 Dadd11      C
