Note that this version of the song
tabbing is the rhythm and goes along with the voice of GLaDOS, and is not the chords that
Coulton plays. This took me a couple hours to make so I hope it was worth the time :)
I separated the acoustic guitar (in the beginning) and GLaDOS' singing by putting the
notes in the section below here, then the whole song after it.

Song: Still Alive
Artist: Portal/GLaDOS
Composer: Jonathan Coulton
Tabbed By: Chargerfan96
This is the pattern to the acoustic guitar after GLaDOS says, "This was a triumph," and
the song:
(This was atriumph (x02210@1)) (It's hard to overstate )

song)

NOTE: At the second and third chorus (marked **), an electric guitar comes in. During
chorus I've written an extra stanza below each phrase. This shows the notes of the chords
the electric guitar. Also, I've also put each word where the chord is played in CAPS, to
it easier to follow along. (x means palm-mute)
