------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bombay Bicycle Club - Emergency Contraception Blues ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Static Space (Harry Yeates) Email: staticspacemusic@gmail.com / harryyeates@gmail.com Tuning: eB F#D AD REQUIRES CAPO Capo On 2nd Fret Bombay Bicycle Club is straight up my favourite band. After hearing Emergency Contraception Blues for the first time, I was hooked in, and continued to listen to each track on each of their albums. This song has become a legacy for Bombay Bicycle Club, this 1:26 wonder is the song that die-hard fans dream of hearing live. If they begin to play The Giantess live, be prepared for the epic Emergency Contraception Blues finale. Moving on - I've seen the two other tabs for this track on here, and I'm afraid they're incorrect. So, without further ado and some long and hard listening to the track, I present you with the correct tabs, for Emergency Contraception Blues. Enjoy! (Capo On 2nd Fret) / = Slide, or Hammer on. (In the track they slide, but hammer-ons works just as well.) e |------------------------0---00000000---0---------------------------------------------| B |----5/7/5/3-3---0---7---0---00112233---3---------------------------------------------| F#|----0---0---0---0---0---0---00000000---0---------------------------------------------| D |----0---0---0---0---0---0---00000000---0---------------------------------------------| A |----0---0---0---0---9---2---22222220---0---------------------------------------------| D |----0---0---0---0---9---2---22222220---0---------------------------------------------| Repeat this riff throughout. Listen to the track for strumming pattern and rhythm. Start off in cleans, then switch to distortion when the drums kick in - (listen to the track for this). Lead Guitar - (Played with what I believe is a delay pedal) Capo 2nd Fret - (Note: this part is not normally played live by either of the guitarists, the sound engineer normally plays this part pre-recorded. You can play it if you want to, though.) e|-----7---2----------7---3---2---3------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------0--------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
