Artist: Niall Horan
Song: Too Much To Ask
Album: Flicker
Key: A minor
BPM: 78
Tabbed by: Matty Sievers
Official Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cfL9nTNugM
EDIT: The official audio was released an hour ago so lyrics and chord placement is fixed.
Niall often starts words on the offbeat; so the chord will change and then half a beat later he'll
sing the line. So the best bet to play this song right is read the below progression outline and go
off that as opposed to his words as that might be difficult for some. But you can also listen through
and get the feel for the track.
Intro and verse is Am for (2) beats, G for (2) beats and then C for (4) beats.
Pre-chorus is Dm for (2) and C for (2) then after playing that three times it's G for (4) beats.
The chorus is the progression of F, C, Am and G, each played for 2 beats, played through four times.
The post-chorus is the same progression played through twice. That's when the lead guitar comes in.
The first part of the final chorus is just whole notes then back to normal strumming
when the full band comes in. Likewise for the outro - WHOLE NOTES :)
