Song: Small blue thing Artist: Suzanne Vega Composer: Suzanne Vega Album: Suzanne Vega Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com) 11th Aug 2016 Video of live performances at these links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oclv-EqJbvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBFG372HsW8 This song is much easier than it first appears, don't be put off by some unusual chord names, it just involves learning a few simple groups of 3 finger sliding shapes. CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of F) Alternatively, tune all strings up a semi-tone instead PLEASE IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the site might suggest, and use the chord legend below, these are the shapes Suzanne uses.
