            Song: Superstition
Artist: Stevie Wonder
Composer: Stevie Wonder
Album: Talking book

Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar-) 2nd April 2016

DROPPED TUNING: 
DE-TUNE ALL STRINGS down a semi-tone to
D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-d#
The song will then sound in the original recorded key of Eb

Using a chromatic tuner makes it easier to get this
tuning more accurate

Palm mute the bridge for an extra funky feel

Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might
automatically suggest and use the typed chord shapes in the
chord legend below.

Chords are all named as if still in standard tuning:
 Em7 = 075700    C7     = x35353    B7#5   = x21203
(A7) = x02020    A#7-5  = x10130    Emadd9 = 022002
 B7  = x24242    A7sus4 = x02030    A7 *   = x02223

h = hammer-on    N.C. = No chords

NOTE: The verses are played as a continuous Em7 chord riff
but the optional (A7) is just shown as a suggestion to make a
single rhythm guitar a bit more interesting if you don't have
the riff as an accompaniment.
Keyboard players can use the transpose function set to (-1)
to display chords in Eb, and just ignore the A7's.
