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
