Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Becomes of the Brokenhearted - Jimmy Ruffin/The Funk Brothers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Michael Smif Email: Time: 4/4 Tuning: Standard -The chords in this song are not standard inversions. Many of them are played over bass notes that aren't the root notes. -Im going to use the tab-template only to show the inversions of the chords, so ignore the chords that pop up when you scroll over the names of them. -After the tabbed chords are the chord progressions in correct order with the song's structure. -Lastly, the chords may sound a little funny by themselves but, if you play them along with the song, you will hear how the chords clearly fit in the song.
