------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mind Mischief - Tame Impala ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tim van Kester Tuning: D (whole step down) This is a tab for the song Mind Mischief by Tame Impala. Fun song to play. I'm not really sure about the chords, since I kinda suck in figuring out the chords for every song I tabbed out so far. Please post a comment when you have suggestions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro/ Main riff e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------8h9----8--6--8---4------------------------------------------------| G|-5--6----8h10---8--6--8---5h6p5--5-----------------------------------------| D|-6--8~---------------------------6~----------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Around 1:35, he still plays the main riff, but also this is played: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--6\4-----8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--6\4-------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--6\4-----8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--6\3~------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Directly after that, this riff is played, with some overdrive: e|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|---------8/10---8----------------------------| D|-6--8~-------------8----6-6-6-6-6------6-----| A|-----------------------------------6h8---6h8-| E|---------------------------------------------| This is repeated four times, where the last time misses the 'hammer-on' part. Return to the main riff for a while, then: e|-8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6------------------------| B|-9------8------9------8------9------8------9------8------------------------| G|-10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------------------------| D|-10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------------------------| A|-8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| After that, this riff is played again: e|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|---------8/10---8----------------------------| D|-6--8~-------------8----6-6-6-6-6------6-----| A|-----------------------------------6h8---6h8-| E|---------------------------------------------| Same number of repeats as before. e|---------------8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6----------| B|---------------9------8------9------8------9------8------9------8----------| G|-7/9\7~--------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8----------| D|---------------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8----------| A|---------------8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6----------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| These chords go on for a while. I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to count them. When he plays the Fm for the third time, this riff comes in: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-8h9-9-8h9p8\6----4h6-6-4h6p4--------8h9-9-8h9p8\6----4h6-6-4h6p4----------| G|------------------------------5~----------------------------------5~-------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------8--6~| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Somewhere around 4:03, this lick is also played twice... e|------------------| B|------------------| G|-/10---8--6---5~--| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|------------------| And the song ends with... e|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|-6--8~----------------------------| A|---------/8---6-------------------| E|-----------------6----4-4-4-4-4~--| ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
