[N]
[Eb] So this version of Never Going Back Again, we're capoed at fret 3,
the original studio version is [E] capoed at fret 4, if you want to play [Eb] along with that one,
and we're in drop [Ab] D [Eb] tuning, so take your sixth string,
I tend to do it with the capo on to get the tuning quite precise, [E] and tune it down [Db] to D,
although if you do it with the capo on, it's [E] going to say [F] F.
[Fm] And [Db] we'll dive into the intro.
It's the [Eb] first four bars of your tab, which are then repeated.
We'll [F] take it a bar at a [E] time, and here's the first bar slowly.
[F] Okay,
[C] [F]
[E]
[Eb] we're making this version of a D chord.
You want a half bar of the top four strings at the [E] second [Eb] fret, and add the second string third [Ab] fret,
and [Eb] the fourth string fourth [N] fret.
[Fm] We're going to play six, [E] then pinch four and [F] two,
five,
[C] three,
[F] pinch four and two again, and hammer from the bar to the two-finger [A] shape.
[F] Six,
three,
pinch four and two,
three,
five,
two,
pinch four and three.
Notice that the bass all the time here is going six, four, five, four, [C] and that'll be consistent
through the whole song basically whenever we're on a D chord.
All [E] right, here's the rhythm of that bar.
[F] One and two E, and a three E, and a four E fret.
And again slowly.
[Eb] Bar two continues with the same shape, and we play [F] this.
[Abm]
All right, we [F] want six, pinch four and two,
five,
[C] three, [F] and then the same [C] hammer that we played before, the [F] bar to the two-finger shape, four and two.
Six, four and two,
five,
[Fm] three, and now [Eb] four, but have the middle finger come away as the [E] ring finger slides from four to five.
Without the bar coming away, [Eb] that's quite tricky to do.
And as you do it, you'll be dropping in
sometime before the first bit of the next bar, the [A] little finger on the second string fifth [E] fret.
To end up with that shape, it's a [G] it's another voicing of an A7 [Em] chord.
Quite tricky to play.
[Eb] Let's [E] do the rhythm of bar two first.
[F] One and
two E, and a three, and
four E, and [C] a
The slide is and a.
[Eb] All right, in drops the little finger, and we play bar three.
[C]
[F]
[Ab] All right, probably [Eb] the [C] trickiest bit of the song here.
[Eb] Out of this difficult A7 shape, we're playing [Fm] five, three,
four and two, [E] four and [Eb] one, I'm sorry.
Two,
[C]
five, [F] one, four and [Eb] two,
three,
[C] pinch five [F] and one,
[C] two,
[Eb] four, one,
five and [C] two,
three,
four, [Eb]
and then coming back to the original D shape and play [Fm] two now at the third fret.
[N] [E] The chord shape doesn't change until the very end of that bar,
[Eb] but the pick pattern [A] is a little bit complicated and holding that shape [Eb] is a bit complicated.
Here's the rhythm.
It's a simple rhythm.
One E and a, two E and a, three E and [E] a, four E and a.
[C] One E and a, two E and a, three E and a,
four E and [F] a.
The a of four is the [Eb] return to that D [C] chord.
Here [Eb] it is again without the count, just slowly.
[C]
[F] Notice [Eb] that the thumb of the bass is [Fm] rocking five, four, five, four throughout that [C] bar.
[B] Bar four, we're back to our D chord [Eb] shape briefly.
[F]
So [Ab] out of our original D chord shape, six, [F] four,
[Ebm] and then you want the second [Eb] string fifth fret and you're going to bring the other [E] fingers away as you play that.
Slide it [Db] up to seven and as it lands at seven, hit the fifth [C] string.
Now [Eb] it comes back to five on a relaxed string and you drop the ring finger in of the fourth string fifth fret, pinch four
and two, and
then come back to your original [Ab] D chord shape, pinch six and two,
[Fm]
three, four, [F] two,
five, three, four.
Another tricky one.
One and a, [Cm] two and
[F] three E and a, four E and.
And without
[Db] the [C] count.
[F]
[C] [F]
[Eb] All right, those are the four bars of the [A] introduction [Eb] that they repeat.
Let me play them back again [A] one more time and slowly.
[F] [C]
[F]
[Eb] So this version of Never Going Back Again, we're capoed at fret 3,
the original studio version is [E] capoed at fret 4, if you want to play [Eb] along with that one,
and we're in drop [Ab] D [Eb] tuning, so take your sixth string,

We'll [F] take it a bar at a [E] time, and here's the first bar slowly.
[F] Okay,
[C] [F]
[E]
[Eb] we're making this version of a D chord.
You want a half bar of the top four strings at the [E] second [Eb] fret, and add the second string third [Ab] fret,
and [Eb] the fourth string fourth [N] fret.
[Fm] We're going to play six, [E] then pinch four and [F] two,
five,
[C] three,
[F] pinch four and two again, and hammer from the bar to the two-finger [A] shape.
[F] Six,
three,
pinch four and two,
three,
five,
two,
pinch four and three.
Notice that the bass all the time here is going six, four, five, four, [C] and that'll be consistent
through the whole song basically whenever we're on a D chord.
All [E] right, here's the rhythm of that bar.
[F] One and two E, and a three E, and a four E fret.
And again slowly.
[Eb] Bar two continues with the same shape, and we play [F] this.
[Abm]
All right, we [F] want six, pinch four and two,
five,
[C] three, [F] and then the same [C] hammer that we played before, the [F] bar to the two-finger shape, four and two.
Six, four and two,
five,
[Fm] three, and now [Eb] four, but have the middle finger come away as the [E] ring finger slides from four to five.
Without the bar coming away, [Eb] that's quite tricky to do.

[Eb] Let's [E] do the rhythm of bar two first.
[F] One and
two E, and a three, and
four E, and [C] a
The slide is and a.
[Eb] All right, in drops the little finger, and we play bar three.
[C]
[F]
[Ab] All right, probably [Eb] the [C] trickiest bit of the song here.
[Eb] Out of this difficult A7 shape, we're playing [Fm] five, three,
four and two, [E] four and [Eb] one, I'm sorry.
Two,
[C]
five, [F] one, four and [Eb] two,
three,
[C] pinch five [F] and one,
[C] two,
[Eb] four, one,
five and [C] two,
three,
four, [Eb]
and then coming back to the original D shape and play [Fm] two now at the third fret.
[N] [E] The chord shape doesn't change until the very end of that bar,
[Eb] but the pick pattern [A] is a little bit complicated and holding that shape [Eb] is a bit complicated.
Here's the rhythm.
It's a simple rhythm.
One E and a, two E and a, three E and [E] a, four E and a.
[C] One E and a, two E and a, three E and a,
four E and [F] a.

Here [Eb] it is again without the count, just slowly.
[C]
[F] Notice [Eb] that the thumb of the bass is [Fm] rocking five, four, five, four throughout that [C] bar.
[B] Bar four, we're back to our D chord [Eb] shape briefly.
[F]
So [Ab] out of our original D chord shape, six, [F] four,
[Ebm] and then you want the second [Eb] string fifth fret and you're going to bring the other [E] fingers away as you play that.
Slide it [Db] up to seven and as it lands at seven, hit the fifth [C] string.

and two, and
then come back to your original [Ab] D chord shape, pinch six and two,
