None of them
I Still Can't Say Goodbye ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by Tommy Emmanuel & Chet Atkins Tab submitted by: Harold Schaefer Email: [email protected] Most of the song just goes off the G, C, and D chords. I added tabs for song as well. Chet and Tommy add some interesting accents. It's not 100% exact, but it's close. Listen to Tommy and/or Chet play it on YouTube. Add your own hammer-ons and pull-offs on the D chord. Capo 2th fret. Tab Notes: Tuning: Standard h = hammer on P = pull off / = slide Capital 'M' = major, CM7 = Cmaj7 The lyrics and chords are below the tabs. 4/4 time. Slowly, with feeling.
