Tom: G E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Royals (cover) - Bruce Springsteen E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: AnimalChiko Bruce Springsteen's cover version of Lorde's hit "Royals" which he played at Auckland 03/02/2014. Capo 5th fret Double Drop D Tuning: D-A-D-G-B-D Chords used in song: D2: 000230 Cadd9: 030030 G6/E (G6): 020030 In parts of this song Springsteen thumps his palm on the bridge of the guitar to keep the beat while holding down the selected chord. I've marked this parts as "PT", Palm Thump. For example, if it stands G6 PT-3, you're going to thump on the bridge of the guitar three times while holding down the G6 chord. The song goes in 3/4 time. Please contact me or look at Bruce's performance of the song if you need help figuring out the Palm Thumping parts.
