Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Than This - Roxy Music
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Bryan Ferry
From: "Avalon" (1982)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Two versions:
- one in F (the obvious choice for me)
- but then A-shapes make for a playable version, too (without any barree chords,
which might be an argument for beginners ...). These chords, however, need
a capo on the 9th fret in order to sound in the original key (does not make
much sense, I think).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Version 1]
capo: 1st fret (for original key)
play: F
key: F#
For chords in original key transpose +1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
