Time after Time (Live Acoustic)
 
 
Tuning - Standard Tuning (E A D G B e)
Now there is no question that I can play this song – the only question is can I tab
this song?  I tried to help everyone by tabbing the strumming pattern.  Rob palm mutes
when he plays, you don’t really need to for it to sound good but if you want to then
palm mute during the first up stroke of every chord.  Use your pinky on b-string (3
fret) and you will never have to move it. The strumming pattern may not be correct
but time of each chord is.
 
Note: Finger style strumming NO PICK.  I find that I mute the low e string with my
index finger when strumming.
 
This was an awesome rendition/great performance of this song – have fun!
