Life Is Strange - Timelines Chords & Tabs

by Misc Computer Games

[Version Description]
From the video game 'Life is Strange'. First tab of the song. Arranged to be played on a single acoustic guitar, chords and melody together.
About this tab:
This tab is arranged so the backing chords and the melody are played with one guitar (fingerstyle).
The basic structure of the song is just C major and A minor chords alternating, but with some small
variations. Originally, the background and melody is recorded separately and there is also some
synth involved.
Timelines is playing a lot in the first half of episode 4 of Life is strange, as well as in the gallery
scene.
There are a lot of variations, however this tab is for the 'official' version from the soundtrack CD.

Playing this you can orientate by the standard root chord shape and add the
small variations and melody as needed.
