Chappell Roan – Picture You (Tabs)

Chappell Roan – Picture You (Tab)

Chappell Roan seems unavoidable at the moment. And Uke Hunt is no exception with a tab of Picture You.

Intro: I took some inspiration from the Tiny Desk version in the intro. I like the way that lazy slide down from G to F# sets up the rest of the song.

Verse: The awkwardness of the F# chord comes into play in the verse. I’d recommend trying out my favourite way to play the D chord here. I like to fret the g and C-strings with the tip of my index finger. Then fret the E with my middle finger. Playing it that way means your middle finger is already in position for the F# and the index finger is already half way to barreing the strings.

The other tricky part is the long slide up to the ninth fret in bar 13.

Pre-Chorus: There’s a shift down in the octave in bar 16. It is a little clunky but it’s necessary to keep things from going way up the fretboard.

Chorus: Nothing new in the chorus. The transition from D to F# felt more natural here.

Bridge: There are some very long hammer-on and pull-off bits in the “you-ou-ou-ou” bits that are tricky to get down.
