Mad World Tabs
When I was on holiday in Tuscany with my family we were there with a second family, that happened to be the family of my friend Lukas (the photographer of this picture). I had my guitar with me and played some tunes down there. His sister Isabella asked me if I could play Mad World (Tears for Fears or Gary Jules, both versions are interesting). Unfortunately I had no tabs with me, nor was i able to find proper chords for the melody.
That weekend I invited my friends to my place and Isabella asked me once again if I could play that. Now I decided to play that but I wanted to experiment a little. So here the tabs I wrote for that song:

Please keep in mind that I’m very bad at tabbing (that’s my first tab ever) and that I changed some harmonics a little bit. Makes it more interesting :-)
Maybe one finds it useful.
