Heyo everyone, this is my first tab. Hallie is a Triple J Unearthed artist who i absolutely adore.
i figured the chords out by ear, so it may be a bit rough, but i am always open for suggestions.
"Nice Like Rice is about losing a friend. It's about realising a friendship has been one sided and
finally allowing yourself to let go, give up and move on from someone who once considered to be close to you"
This is how you would play C#
For D# just play the same except slide up two, barring 6th fret, two fingers on 8th of d and g strings
For F, play 8th fret barred and two fingers on 10th of d and g string.
Like so:
-x---
-x---
-x-6-
-x-6-
-x---
-x---
4th - x - barred
Hope this makes sense
