Song: Waterloo sunset
Artist: The Kinks
Composer: Ray Davies
Album: Something else by the Kinks

Tabbed by DJ  7th Oct 2016

Ray Davies played this in E without a capo, but this alternative
allows an opportunity for a one guitar accompaniment to relatively
easily introduce some of the bass and lead riffs too.

CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of E)

NOTE:  Please ignore any pop-up chord boxes the website might
suggest and use the typed voicings shown below.

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
 *     = xxx220  or xx7655  or x02220
    = xxx020  or xx5655  or 302020
   = xx4020  or xx4222  or 202020
    = xx2020  or xx2220  or 002020
     = xx0220
   = x42020
    = x22020
      = x02020
  = x02030

       = x02220
       = 320033     = 20023x or xx4232
       = xx0232        = 022100
   = xx0230       = 022130
      = xx2000       = 022120
 = xx1000       = 355xxx
   = xx0000       = 577xxx
