Dont Leave Home

Dido - Don’t Leave Home 
Album: Life For Rent (’2003)
Track: #6/11

It seems my first effort was none too good - hopefully this attempt is rather
more accurate (although it’s quite possible that some of the G6 chords should
really be Em7). I should state that much of the credit for this should go to Denis Jacob!


Capo 4
------

The following is played under the verses (the rhythm is approximate):

   G/D              G5/D             D5
e |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B |3---3---3---3-3-|3--33---3-3-3-3-|3---3---3---3-3-|3--33---3-3-3-3-|

B |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

and then the following is played under the bridge:
