i found a tab at ultimate guitar but i think it's not accurate

i'm pretty sure the tuning is EA?GBC with a capo on 1rst fret so it becomes FA#?G#CC#.

...yes, the question mark means i don't know what is the tuning for the 4th string. i think it 's D (D# with the capo) but i'm not sure.

Does anyone had an attempt at tabbing this wonderful song ?

thanks

for those interested, with the EADGBC tuning i play it like this:

(capo on 1st fret is considered as fret 0)

9x(11)(10)90 022000 3x5430 verse

 

1x3210 x32010 3x5430 prechorus (you don't have to be on your own)

 

(11)x0(11)(11)0 9x0(10)90 3x0430 chorus

 

but i think it's not totally accurate so i wait for your views ! thanks

Use standard tuning, put a capo on the first fret, then play these chords:

 

My song is love, is love

C a G

 

Love to the lovely song

C a G

 

And it goes on

C a G

 

You don't have to be alone

F C G

 

etc....

 

In the chorus it goes

 

And I'm not gonna stand and wait

d C G

 

etc., I am nothing on my own

F C G

 

And so forth until the end, which goes like this:

 

My song is love, is love unknown

F C G a

 

And I've got to get that message home

F C G C

 

Hope this helps!! :)

i appreciate your help but i'm pretty sure this is not a standard tuning! the chords you posted are good but they provide a simplified version of the song i think.(and are you sure for the "a" -which means Aminor i guess- i would play Em instead)

Anyway thanks again for your being willing to help :)
