The Tabs Are Below Learn To Read Tab Chords Handbook Corrections & Additions Get Official Tab David Bowie tabs @ 911Tabs Title: I Can’t Read Artist: David Bowie Written by: David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels Transcribed by Scott Fuller     The original version of this song can be found on the first Tin Machine abulm. The song was given an acoustic revamp in 1997, where it was released as a single and appeared on the soundtrack to the film ‘The Ice Storm’.   It is this acoustic version which I have transcribed below. Note that on the I Can't Read single, the 'short version' merely omits the intro.     INTRO   E-------------0----------------------------0------------- B-----------------3----------------------------3--------- G---------0-----------0----------------0----------------- D-------2----------------------------2------------------- A-----2----------------------------2--------------------- E---0----------------------------0-----------------------     E-------------------------------------0------------------ B------2p0-2------2-2p0-2--3------------3\2p0------------ G------0---0------0-0---0--0----------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------- A---2----2-----2------2---------2------------------------ E-------------------------------0------------------------     E----------------------------------------------------0--- B------2p0-2------2-2p0-2--3---------2/3\2p0---------3--- G------0---0------0-0---0--0----0------------2h4-2---2--- D-------------------------------2--------------------2--- A---2----2-----2------2---------2------------------------ E-------------------------------0------------------------     E---5--7--0------0-----------------0-----0--------------- B----------------1-----1--3--0-----0-------0------------- G----------------0-----------------2----------2---------- D----------------2-----------------2--------------------- A-------------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------     E-------------0-----------0-------¦ B-------0-------0---------0-------¦ G-----4-----------4-------4-------¦ D---4------4--------4-----4-------¦ A---------------------------------¦ E---------------------------------¦     VERSE 1   E----------------------------------------------------0--- B---------------------------2p0-2------2-2p0-2--3----0--- G---------------------------0---0------0-0---0--0----0--- D---2------------------------------------------------2--- A---2--------------------2----2-----2------2---------2--- E---0------------------------------------------------0--- “I can’t read...
