Tabbed by: Macejko

Tuning: Standard 
Key: C

The main riff is played on bağlama, which is an eastern variaton of lute.
This is a version for acoustic guitar (add a little palm-muting where you feel it): 

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------3-2-2-0--------0--------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------3-----------2-------3-3-2-------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3-3---------3---3-3---3-3---4-4-4-------4-3--3-3-3--3-4---------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------0-0-2-2-2-3-3-3-5---6-6-5-5-3-3-2-2----5--3-2-0---------------|
D|-----2-2-3-3---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-3---------------------------3-----------------3-------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Listen to the song to get that rhytm into your hands.


This is played over the bağlama melody later on:

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5-----6--5----5-----6--5---5-----6--5---5-6-5---5-6-5---------------------|
D|-----5-------------5------------5------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chords in the chorus (for acoustic guitar, for electric just play two lowest notes of each one):

E|-3----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------|
B|-4----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------|
G|-5----------3----------1----------5----------------------------------------|
D|-5----------3----------3----------6----------------------------------------|
A|-3----------1----------3----------6----------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------1----------4----------------------------------------|
