When You Go/Tabs

Live version
It's funny. For the last 2 weeks I've been playing around with this song thinking to myself how I'd love to hear JoCo play this. Last week he played it for the first time live, perhaps ever. I had to learn this version and post a transcription. This is very similar to the original with some subtle differences though. At some point I'd love to do a lesson video for this as well if there's demand for it. As usual, let me know if there's anything that needs clarification.

"Cheater Version" as Transcribed by Jerod[edit]
Cheater Version:
Here's a kind of a cheater version of the live version posted above for those of us who aren't as good with exotic chords as JoCo. This isn't an exact transcription, but it's much easier (at least for me) and sounds absolutely fine even when you play it along with the song. As you'll see on the chords list, I've cut down on the number of chords you need to know considerably. Chords marked with a "*" are chords not in the version found above. There are only two "new" chords in here, and the G isn't a "new" chord, just an alternate way of playing a regular "G". But after struggling with the quick change from the F#m to the regular G, I figured that out and it makes it much smoother for me. This is an absolutely beautiful song, definitely one of my favorites, and I hope everyone enjoys this version!

Notes: There's one difference that I can see in the opening figure - the two notes in the T2 part should actually be split between the T2s and the Baris: T2 sings B, Bari sings A.
