Contender

Taken from an acoustic set Fenech-Soler did for "Mahogany Sessions":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h_8EmKCACI
-------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard(EADGBe)
Capo: NO Capo
-------------------------------------------------
Strumming patterns-

Verses: 1 downward strum then palm mute,then 3 more
downstrums while only fretting when you strum.

Chorus: Follows a D(then p.muted)UUDU strumming pattern
--------------------------------------------------
Verses consist of only 3(2 barre and one open) 
chords played over and over again throughout:


    (Am)*    (F)      (E)
e|---5--------1--------0------------------|
B|---5--------1--------0------------------|
G|---5--------2--------1------------------|
D|---7--------3--------2------------------|
A|---7--------3--------2------------------|
E|---5--------1--------0------------------|

*Am is played for 2 measures*


Note: The E chord is strummed only twice more 
after it is palm muted followed by a little 
picking pattern(tabbed below). It's kind of hard 
to explain but you see it in the video
done after each E chord(watch video to see what I 
mean)

e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------|
A|----2/7--5------------------------------|
E|------------8--7--0---------------------|





Chorus is a little different: 

 
          Dm                  Am
And you fight like a little Contender

           G                    F 
A broken heart you can never surrender 

             Dm              Am         E(one slow strum)
A thousand kisses return to sender    Oh oh ohh

           Dm                   Am
I want to help and i want to protect ya 

 G                                E(one slow strum)
   But you got your spies telling lies 

            Dm                        Am                 E(one low strum)
Where do you go? You change colours like a tiger in the snow oh oh oh oh oh
