Artist: Charles Manson Song: Big Iron Door (Clang Bang Clang) Tabbed by: neuroxik E-mail: neuroxik [-at] gmail [dot-] com Tuning: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb (Tune down half A step) Chord Names: Chord names relative to fret position ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTES: >> IMPORTANT: Because the chords vary a lot, like Bm without the small string then Bm WITH the small string, instead of having a load of chord names at the beginning I tabbed them throughout to make it easier to play along. BUT, the tabs --DO NOT REFLECT-- the strumming pattern, they're just there as a guide. >> T = Thumb, when written under tab >> Yes, Em7M (0654xx) sounds dissonant, as does when he recorded it, which give it more character. I'm only noting it in case people ask "Are you sure?" >> Because Eb7 is played with the 6th fret on 5th string at some places and others not, I took the freedom to name it Eb7[2] where that note is not played to make it easier to visualize. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Classical Guitar (nylon strings) INTRO VERSE Bm (x24432@1) Abm (133111@4) Em (022000@1) Abm (133111@4) Bm (x24432@1) Abm (133111@4) Emeb|-------|-------|---0---|-------||--2---------|-----------------|---0------| (022000@1)Bb|---3---|---4---|---0---|---4---||--3---------|--4--------------|---0------| Gb|---4---|---4---|---0---|---4---||--4---------|--4--------------|---0------| Db|---4---|---6---|---2---|---6---||--4---------|--6--------------|---2------| Ab|---2---|---6---|---2---|---6---||--2---------|--6--------------|---2------| Eb|-------|---4---|---0---|---4---||------------|--4--------------|---0------| Clang bang clang, went the big iron Abm (133111@4) Bm (x24432@1) Abm (133111@4) Em (022000@1) Abm (133111@4) Db5/Ab eb|------|--2-----------------|--------|--0--------|-------|-----------------| Bb|--4---|--3-----------------|--4-----|--0--------|--4----|-----------------| Gb|--4---|--4-----------------|--4-----|--0--------|--4----|-----------------| Db|--6---|--4-----------------|--6-----|--2--------|--6----|--6--------------| Ab|--6---|--2-----------------|--6-----|--2--------|--6----|--4--------------| Eb|--4---|--------------------|--4-----|--0--------|--4----|--4--------------| door.
