My Girl (ver 6) by The Temptations

My Girl

As performed by the Temptations
Tabbed by G. Ludovici

I've included the bass intro, but raised it up an octave since a guitar with
standard tuning doesn't have the lowest notes.

For the verses, the guitar just plays up two major scales over and over.
The C scale and F scale for the first two versus, then D and G after the key change.

I worked to ensure the fingering pattern was similar and scale-like
 throughout the entire song.  During the chorus, strum freely to fill out
 the sound.  The strum patterns included are a simplified suggestion.

TUNING NOTE:  If you play with the Temptations recording, you'll want to
tune all of the strings up about 10hz above standard tuning (less than a
semi-tone) or it'll sound a touch flat.

DESCENDING SCALE:
Now instead of the lead guitar, the entire orchestra starts repeating chords
 and a scale until the song fades to silence.  In case you're performing 
this, I've set up a closing chord instead of the fade.  I've also included a 
lead-guitar style melody in case you're not comfortable with barre chords.


MELODY:
    A    G     Bm    A7    D
