NEARER MY GOD TO THEE
 
I tabbed this from the orchestral quartet version of the hymn by Nordsee. Elvis
sings it too. It’s really pretty and is supposedly the piece played by that quartet on the
as it sank (or they did in the movie anyway ☺). This is my first tab but it’s
accurate I think. Let me know what you think!

This actually a really good tab. Better than I though it would be. It was actually played by an octet (or 8 people, that's how many were in the Titanic's band), and it is still debated weather or not this was the final song played (the other one is Autumn), but if it was, I bet it was beautiful. It's really good in the movie, like honestly, the song is even better with total chaos in the background. It's an "Oh shit, we're all going to die, and there isn't anything we can do about it" song. I'm arranging it now for a sting trio, and it's going pretty good. Well good tab man, and hope to see others like this later on.

awesome
