Band: Weezer Album: Weezer aka the green album Song written by Rivers cuomo Tabbed by: Finny Merrill Hash Pipe A lot of people have tabbed this song but not many have gotten it right. I *think* this is right. Btw if anyone's wondering about what this song is about, it is NOT drug-related. From what I can tell about the lyrics, its sung from the point of view of a Los Angeles prostitute. (santa monica, "trick" = prostitute's customer, boogies = some kind of STD) Ok the lead (Rivers' part) is played high toned on the lead pickup, with electronic distortion, and slight wah effect throughout the whole song. The rhythm (Brian's part) is played low toned on the neck pickup, with amp OD. the bass plays clean, either string of the rhythm part Intro/verse is palm muted in such a way that rhythm can mostly be heard over the lead Intro/verse Lead palm mute let the palm mute off for a half beat on the second measure of the song, 4-and, this is played four measures before the verse and during the verse e.g -------------------------------| here V 4/4|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4--- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- B--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- G--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- D--|1-0-4-5-1-0-4-5-|1-0-4-5-1-0-4-5-|1-0-4-5-1-0-4-5-|1-0-4-5-1-0-4-5- A--|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- Rhythm 4/4|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4--- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- B--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- G--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- D--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- A--|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3- E--|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3- Lead gradually lets the palm mute off in the middle of the third verse line, and by the end of the verse it's hardly on, but the lead is still soft. Then there's the pre-chorus The first chord starts on the last half-beat of the last measure of the verse (4-and) and rings out, but I'll just put it here anyway x = stop the chord, not a muted strum. both guitars drop palm mute at this point Lead 4/4|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4--- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- B--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- G--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- D--7----7---7-7---7-|7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|1-0-4-5-1-0-4-5-|1-0-4-5-1-0-4-7- A--5----5---5-5---5-|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-5- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- Oh...............Come on and kick me 4/4|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4--- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- B--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- G--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- D--7----7---7-7---7-|7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|10--10--1010--10|1010101010101010 A--5----5---5-5---5-|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|8---8---8-8---8-|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- Oh...............Come on and kick me (whoa whoa) Come on an kick mee-ee Rhythm 4/4|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4--- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- B--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- G--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- D--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- A--5----5---5-5x--5-|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-5- E--5----5---5-5x--5-|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-3-|0-0-2-3-0-0-2-5- 4/4|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4---|1---2---3---4--- E--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- B--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- G--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- D--|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------- A--5----5---5-5---5-|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|8---8---8-8---8-|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- E--5----5---5-5---5-|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|8---8---8-8---8-|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- Chorus slide down into 55X/X57 in the beginning of the chorus then repeat the pre-chorus strum pattern for 6 measures, going down a full step every 2 measures. in measures 7 and 8 of the chorus, slide down to 22X/X24 and play more stacatto. Then back to verse the first time, into the bridge the second and third. Not gonna bother tabbing the bridge. The first time you play the bridge, it goes into the four-measure pre-verse then into a lead solo. (make one up or find it in another tab, its really simple) After the solo, go back into the pre-chorus, then the chorus, the bridge again, the pre-verse, and then the last two lines of the verse (letting off the palm mute). Then on the very last eigth, play EAD open on both guitars. Thats it
