Tabs
There are a number of web sites you can go to for the tabs to Bic Runga's songs.
Some are listed here
Rather than list all the tabs on this site, I have included the links to the relevant sites, as these people have taken the time (and have the ability) to tab the songs.
However,
please note this comment from Campbell Smith at the official Bic Runga
website:
"The tabs you pointed out are interpretations of the songs and have not
been checked by Bic herself, and some are incorrect.
We feel that by setting up a tabs page ourselves, with Bic, tabs will be
easier to access, and you'll be able to play the songs correctly, with or
without a capo!" 7 June, 2001.
Peter Tangney and Gina Love at the SOLA nz tab archive have the tabs to almost all the good kiwi bands at their site. It is worth surfing over there to have a look around.
They have a page dedicated to Bic's songs, including:
- Drive
- Sway
Ben Barrett has the New Zealand Tab Page which has 200+ guitar and bass tabs for New Zealand band material. (He is currently looking for Stellar* tabs, can anyone help out...Boh, Chris, Kurt???).
Bic has her own page, which lists the tabs for the following songs:
- Suddenly Strange
- Hey
- Sway
- Drive
- Bursting Through
Worth wandering over there from time to time to see what new tabs surface, maybe "Precious Things".
Update September 2005: This website appears to be inactive now.
Tabs available in downloadable format from Wholenote for:
- Bursting through
- Drive
- Sway
Looking for the piano music for Bic's material?
