Somebody Like You Chords & Tabs

Keith Urban Chords & Tabs

Version: 3 Type: Tab

Somebody Like You Tab

   
The other versions of this song are slightly off, this is exactly how Keith plays it acoustic.

He improvises all his live acoustic performances 'cause he's just a stud like that, so
may not do the riff everywhere that it occurs in the studio version, but for this tab I
be putting the riff as it aligns with the studio version. When I play the song I pick 
intro two times, then strum two times, then go into the verse. When I play the riff
the verses I always strum it.

After "shining down on me and you" in the chorus, Keith plays the E shape of the B and A
chords (basically the barre chord without the barre) and finishes the run back at E.

Note each run of the riff lasts two measures (4 beats per).

Intro (picking):

-----0--------0--------0----------0--------|
----0--------0-0------0----------0-0-------|
8h9----9/11------11/13----13/14-------- ---|
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|

Intro (strumming):
Play while strumming the three highest strings

There's a new wind blowing like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've ever done

And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
               B                           Asus2
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.
