Song: Don't know why
Artist: Norah Jones
Composer: Jesse Harris
Album: Come away with me
Tabbed by DJ 4th Mar 2015
CAPO: 1st fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of Bb)
I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the bottom of the tab.
Emphasise the bass note of every chord.
For ease, the C#+/F and A/G# are played as single
passing bass notes rather than full chords.
Use the index finger to barre the Dmaj7, for the C#+
add the additional notes with the middle and
ring fingers but ensure the 1st string isn't played.
For the C#+/F just play as a single passing bass note
that then slides up a fret into the F#m7 barre shape
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo
Amaj7 = x02120 (C#+/F) = 1xxxxx A/E = 002220
A7/E = 002020 F#m7 = 242222 (A/G#) = 4xxxxx
A7 = x02020 B7 = x24242 E7sus4/D = xx0200
Dmaj7 = xx0222 E7sus4 = 020200 E7sus4/C# = x40200
C#+ = x4322x A = x02220 E7sus4/B = x20200

=====================================================
For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below six of the diagrams
C#+ C#+/F F#m7 B7
<4 of 15> <9 of 16> <3 of 33> <2 of 26>
E7sus4 A/G#
<2 of 34> <5 of 15>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default first
option and don't need any reselecting
