Song: You and the Mona Lisa
by: Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal
CD: A Few Small Repairs
From: Andrew Lyon
The song starts in the key of G, and modulates up a minor third to the key
of Bb for the chorus.
I have transcribed this for three guitars;
1) The open tuning of C7/9 as follows;
E B D G C E
Em - xx2020 Bb - xxx321
Dsus2/sus4 - xxx020 Eb - xxx876
C - xx2000 Gm7 - xx3323
Bm - xx0422 F - xxx555
2) An altered tuning where the 6th string is tuned up to G;
G A D G B E
Em - 079xxx Bb6 - 013xxx
Dsus4 - 057xxx Eb - 068xxx
C - 035xxx Gm7 (no 3rd)- 053xxx
Bm7 (no 3rd)- 224xxx F - 233xxx
3) Standard tuning.
Dsus2 - xx0230
Bm7 - x24232
Gm7 - 353333
