"MORNINGSTAR" by AFI from the album "The Art of Drowning" tabbed by Isaac Hayward Hey, I looked at all of the other tabs on Ultimate guitar and I didn't find one that was quite the way I played it. I hope you can hear the bass in the soft choruses, it just plucks notes for every bar. Also, I hope you can hear that in the verses, that the C# chord is not a 5th chord, but rather a C#m chord without a G# (5th). The same goes with the B chord in the verses (it is a B with a major 3rd on top of it). Why am I boring you with this? Have fun playing this great song. I hope you can read it OK, it looks like a bit of a mess to me. I suggest using some sort of guitar to play this song, but thats just my opinion. ============================================================================ Intro/Verse: ============================================================================ e:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| D:|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---| A:|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-0-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-| E:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| PM..................................................................... ===================================== | 1. | e:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------o| G:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| D:|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| A:|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--o| E:|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-0-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-0-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-0-| PM.....................................................................
