I Can't Give Everything Away - David Bowie Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard David Bowie I Can't Give Everything Away (2015) (David Bowie) From: "Blackstar" There are some tough decisions to make for this song. Multi-layered instruments create sounds that are difficult to reproduce on a single guitar. For this tab I decided to open the chords and include an open -string throughout. If that is too much for your taste, play regular chords. I put up two versions here, one without a capo, the second one with capo on the first fret (less barree). So, here's my reading of this beautiful tune, enjoy!
