Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Home (Tabs)
Here’s a tab for probably the biggest hit of the indie folk era: Home.
Intro: Straight in with the trickiest part of the song. If you wanted to make this easier, you could just chug out the chords rather than tackling the fingerpicking.
Verse: I’ve tried to keep the feeling of a duet in this section. For the female part, I use bends and play close to the bridge to give it a raspier sound. Then play away from the bridge to get a fuller tone for the male part. You can judge for yourself whether it works. I’m not sure.
If you don’t want to play the bends, you can replace them with the open A-string.
Chorus: Nice and easy. Just picking a simple melody and strumming the chords.
Solo: Nothing difficult here either in terms of fretting. But there are a bunch of bars of 2/4 which make the timing tricky to keep track of.
