Song title:      All Bets Are Off
Original Album:  Year Of The Wolf

Words and Music by Nerina Pallot
Copyright © 2011 Polydor Ltd/Geffen Records (UK)
Published by Geffen Records (UK)

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
This was transcribed from the acoustic piano version.
 
If you were busking this, you could just strum the VERSE chords for the INTRO.
Unless, of course, there are two of you.


INTRO:
Notes:
I've attempted to show Nerina's piano intro in Guitar Figure 1.
The bass part is what her left-hand plays. However, I've shown octaves
because you need to get these bass notes to sustain. Actually, I think
they're just single bass notes on the piano.
