Electric Light Orchestra 10538 Overture Guitar Tab Cheat Sheet

Electric Light Orchestra 10538 Overture Guitar Tab Cheat Sheet

Written by Jeff Lynne and produced by Lynne and Roy Wood.  Very Beatle like track with descending bass line and use of cello reminiscent of I Am The Walrus. 

Originally written to be a Move song who had hits with Flowers In The Rain and Blackberry Way. Roy Wood left to form Wizard who had a huge hit I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

Tuned down one full step DGCFAD and played in D giving it C tonality. The main riff is D D/C G/B Gm/Bb 
There’s a verse D Dsus4 Am Am7 moving to E Esus4 Bm Bm7 which goes to an interesting Dm9 to Add2 phrase
