Try a Little Kindness

Written by Curt Sapaugh and Bobby Austin

Performed and recorded by Glen Campbell 1970

From the album "Try a Little Kindness" by Glenn Campbell

Adapted for standard tuning.

b.p.m. = 176

Play open E and Ei chord with middle finger fretting A and D string at 2nd fret, and index finger fretting

G string at 1st fret, leaving ring finger and pinkie free to hit other E chord variations and picking notes.

I fingerpick intro/bridge parts with middle, index, thumb triplets and strum the rest

with my thumb and fingers maintaining double time feel. The strum patterns give an idea of the kinds of

strumming used and should be adjusted. The tempo is approximate to the record and can be adjusted to

whatever works for you. Give it some time and it will!!!

Accent the syllables with chords as needed. (lots) examples are in a few spots.

I like the key of E and standard tuning for this tune.

Hope you enjoy it.

Please don't forget to rate this tab. Thanks!
