Version: 2 Type: Tab

Go Ahead Tab

   
Amazing song. Amazing singer.

Tabbed by: Ryan Peterson

This song is just a simple chord progression in 2 different keys with some finger picking.

The patterns of finger picking is pretty much always the same, so you can figure it out.

Example Pattern for C chord:
e|--------------------------|
B|---1-------1----1-------1-|
G|-------0------------0-----|
D|---2-----2------2-----2---|
A|-3---3--------3---3-------|
E|--------------------------|


So once you can do that, the whole song is just a simple progression of:

C Dm G

There is a little variation with the G chord when she sings "Be my guest"/"I wish you 
which goes:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rilo_kiley/go_ahead_tab_ver_2.html ]
e|-3-1-0-----|
B|-------0h1-|
G|-----------|
D|-----------|       And then back into the C
A|-----------|
E|-----------|

However, halfway through the song, the key shifts a half step up while still finger 
 So your new chords are (I like to play them barred, there might be other ways to play these):


  C#        D#m       G#

e|-4-|    e|-6-|    e|-4-|
B|-6-|    B|-7-|    B|-4-|
G|-6-|    G|-8-|    G|-5-|
D|-6-|    D|-8-|    D|-6-|
A|-4-|    A|-6-|    A|-6-|
e|-4-|    e|-6-|    e|-4-|

That's it.  Have fun.
