About this song
Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer's theme from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). A fingerstyle tab in standard tuning, no capo, in 6/8: thumb bass and melody through the theme, its repeat, the climb, the climax and the ending.
How to play it: A simple 6/8 strum for the chord sheet: down on 1 and 4, up on 3 and 6, one pattern a bar. The tab itself is fingerpicked; play it from the Guitar Tab view.
Lead: D minor. D minor in a fast 6/8: count two beats a bar.
