(I COULD ONLY) WHISPER YOUR NAME -- HARRY CONNICK, JR., "She"(1994)
Exact chords tabbed out by ClassicalfreaK, 2015
Send me suggestions: AnAmericanComposer@gmail.com
**ALTHOUGH there is a mixture of tab and chords in this song, I'm
considering it as primarily a chord submission so that the chords
can be lit up! I apologize in advance for any of you lead-guitar
psychos out there that wanted the tab for the solo at the end -- I
am nowhere near talented enough on guitar to get that! The bass part
is fun, though, so do that.
<--LEGEND-->
* Tabs are preceded in (parentheses) by the instrument; i.e., (bass)
before this first tab part.
* I like including tabs to non-guitar lines so if people want to double
up on instruments they have an option to. The chords are always
directly above the tab, if you prefer just comping. I use this
plus the rhythm notation in another submission, too: George
Michael's I Want Your Sex Pt. 1, 2 & 3.
* Seeing "x...x..." above or below a tab (depending on position of notes)
denotes rhythm so tabs are exact. "x" is the downbeat, "..." is the
broken down sub-beats ("1-e-&-a-", if you will).
* If you see a break in the -s, that's because either the notes in the spaces
go in between those beats (like grace notes in the second Fm7 chord for
the brass intro), or the note is on a 2-digit-numbered fret (i.e., 12).

hn. horns
n/c No chord -- it doesn't show up in blue because there's nothing to play!
GP Grand Pause -- entire band is silent

tutti old-school music term: "everyone together"
