“On and On and On” ‘Tab’

Because why not?

Found some rough tabulature on this song and decided to work it out as it’s not been posted anywhere except the viachicago forum.

Piano intro:

e  ——0           ——0

B  —8—    x8   —8—    x8

G —11—         —11—

D —10—         —9—

If you’re a good finger-picker you can alternate thumb, index, middle then ring (on the e) or brush with the first three with the thumb and then a light index pick on the e.  This can be repeated throughout most of the song, though if you’re playing acoustically, vary it with the chords which are variations on:

CM7   x3200x    x35500    8x998x

Bm7   x2400x    x2403x    x2003x   799777

Am7   x0201x    575555

G       32000x    x2000x    355433

Chords switch every 8 beats, going through a full cycle every two lyric lines.  I go through with the piano riff once or twice, switching to the barre versions and ending with the open voicings, especially with some reverb.  But whatevah you like, I also play it with a capo on 3rd fret because I have a high girly voice.  Either way, great song.  Hope someone finds this useful.
