AFFIRMATION
(Savage Garden)
1999
Tabbed by David Tyson <noel_david84@yahoo.com>
[NOTE 1: Daniel uses a capo on fret 1, and all chords are relative to
the capo. For instance, without the capo, 'A' would be played
as 'Bb' (x13331). Most chords are played as fifth root barres. ]
[NOTE 2: All chords last for two beats, except the 'Dsus4-D'transition
where both chords last for one beat each, and the 'E' chord in
the pre-chorus', which lasts for four beats. This should help
with timing etc. It's not a hard song! ]
Chords used:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SAVAGE GARDEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
