Chord/Tab song: The Other Side

Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: The Other Side - ( The Other Side by David Gray from the album A New Day at ...)

--
The Other Side by David Gray from the album A New Day at Midnight

There's another tab of this song on the site, but I think it's wrong.
This tab is for one guitar playing the piano part of the song.

I didn't tab the 'breakdown' sort of section where there's actually
a guitar.

This song is great and it's very easy to play on one guitar.

Chords riff
[Dm] [Dsus4] [G] [G7] [F] [C] [A] [Bb] [E]

e |--1---3------3---1---1---0---0---1----0--------1-0----|
B |--3---2------0---0---1---1---2---3----0------------3--|
G |--2---2------0---0---2---0---2---3----1---------------|
D |--0---0------0---0---3---2---2---3----2---------------|
A |--0---0------2---2---3---3---0---1----2---------------|
E |-------------3---3---1----------------0---------------|



Notes:

The Dm chord in the intro/chorus is only strummed for one beat, then immedately
you play the Dsus4 chord.

The G in the intro/chorus is stummed for two beats, then G7 for one, then you
play riff directly into the Dm and the Dsus4.

All that together is the intro/chorus.
Looks like this:

Dm Dsus4 G G G7 riff


e |--1---3---3---3---3---3---1---1-0---|
B |--3---2---2---2---0---0---0-------3-|
G |--2---2---2---2---0---0---0---------|
D |--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---------|
A |--0---0---0---0---2---2---2---------|
E |------------------3---3---3---------|


The riff is followed immediately by a Dm. You don't have to play the riff
at all if you don't want, you can just strum another G7 chord, but it will
sound more like David's piano if you at least play the riff a few times.

Plus your index finger is already on the F if from fretting the G7, and if
you fret the D with your ring finger, the riff sets your fingers up for the Dm.

I tried to space the position of the chords to go with the lyrics. Play along
with the song, you should be able to hear the changes.

[F]Honey now if I'm ho[C]nest

[F]Maybe I oughta [C]mention
It was never my [Dm]intention
To harm you or your [G]kin
Are you so scared to look wit[A]hin
The ghosts are crawling on our [Dm]skin

We'll not [F]undo what has been [G]done
[E]Or change the moment when it's g[Dm]one[Dsus4]
