Everybody wants to rule the world\r\nArtist: Tears for Fears\r\nComposers: Roland Orzabal, \r\n           Ian Stanley and Chris Hughes\r\nAlbum: Songs from the big chair\r\n\r\nTabbed by DJ   19th Sept 2018\r\n\r\nThis tab is an arrangement with only one acoustic\r\nguitar in mind as an accompaniment and doesn't aim\r\nto reflect the way the original song was played.\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT NOTE:\r\nThe original backing track appears to have been\r\nsped up, making the track sharp to very nearly a\r\nwhole half step up. \r\nYou will need to tune all your strings up higher,\r\nby approx. + 20 cents, to closer match the pitch of\r\nthe original recording.\r\nTo avoid retuning I recommend using a live concert\r\nperformance if you want to play along with the song\r\n\r\n2022 live TV performance (Standard tuning):\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ-o1N2swMw\r\n\r\nI would recommend using the voicings in the text\r\ncolumn numbers below.\r\nRegarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS
