Chord/Tab song: Ain't Complaining

Ain't Complaining (Live, Acoustic) - Beatsteaks (Muffenhausen)


--------------------------------------------------------------

tabbed by ZaB23

Please mind, that this is the acoustic version, originally played on piano,
but it works great on acoustic Guitar too. Course the Piano can't be transposed,
but I'm a lazy keayboarder and ultimate guitar can make the job, if you want to play it on Piano.
For a detailled Piano description, look below the chords.

Capo 1 /Transpose +1

Intro:

An Ansatz of the Piano Version: (originally each Tone still half a step
higher), A2 means, it's the octave higher Version of A1 :D

Intro is Played right Hand: left Hand:
(A-Chord)
C#4 A3 E3 C#4 A3 E3 C#4 A3 2x A1+A2

C4 A3 E3 C4 A3 E3 C4 A3 2x C1+C2
(D-Chord)
D4 A3 F#3 D4 A3 F#3 D4 A3 2x D1+D2

right Hand Verse: just the normal Chords
left Hand Verse: not really sure, but think it's: A1 G#1 F#1, D2 C#2 H2
(simular to the change of the Chords, with a kind of appoggiatura (Vorschlagnote)
before each change)
