---------------------------------------------------------------- | Artist: The Pretty Reckless | | Song: Make Me Wanna Die (KROQ acoustic) | | Album: Light Me Up | | Year: 2010 | | | | Transcribed by: Vicar in a Tutu | | email: vicar_in_a_tutu@hotmail.co.uk | | website: http://www.myspace.com/mikeoxmorle | | | | Date: 11-Feb-2012 | ---------------------------------------------------------------- I tabbed this frame by frame from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH9gcaJjG_U Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Chords are relevant to the fret numbers played AFTER down-tuning, and not the actual root note, since this is the easier for most guitarists. If you are playing in standard tuning (or on a piano etc.) then transpose all chords down 1 half-step using the 'Ultimate Guitar' transposer above ^ to be musically accurate. 'F#m' = Fm in standard tuning. Watch/listen to the video for timing and strumming patterns, its not difficult to figure out. Lyrics with chords are below. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] optional - not played on acoustic version Eb|-5---5-----4-5-7-|-5---5-----------|-5-----|

---------------------------------------------------------------- The KROQ performance medleys into a few lines of 'Supersonic' by Oasis at the end - this is optional. Chords for that can be searched for, or you can work them out yourself! The 'Le Figaro' acoustic performance is slightly different. Try this alterative version (Pre-Verse 1 and Verse 1 only) and see which you prefer.
