The B♭6 chord

A 6th chord adds the 6th to a major chord. It sounds sweet and a little old-fashioned, and is common in swing, country and surf music.

Numbers on the dots are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. ○ means play the string open and × means don't play it. Orange marks the root note. The tab reads from the low E string to the high E string.
