For all you folks landing here after a search for guitar tabs or chords for the Mandy Moore cover version of Umbrella, here’s a hint I just tried out myself:

1) I did a Google search for plain old “umbrella tab”

2) Picked a chord transcription for Rihanna’s version that had a high rating.

3) Played it slower and didn’t use a capo. The version I picked said to use a capo on the first fret, but when I played along with Mandy’s version (still can’t buy it, but the video works!) I realized they used the same chords but no capo.

That was easy right? Have fun!

UPDATE: If you like Mandy’s version, you might also be interested in Marié Digby’s acoustic version of Umbrella, which IS available for purchase on iTunes.

If you’re not a guitarist, never fear, more reviews are on the way, as soon as I get them all written up. Keep an eye out! Or just subscribe to Lyrical Venus by Email or by RSS Feed and have the updates come straight to you!
