**************************************************************************** Artist: Boys Like Girls Song Title: "Love Drunk" Album: "Love Drunk" Year: 2009 Tabbed by: aznricyboy (Richie) Date: June 26, 2009 Email: aznricyboy@yahoo.com **************************************************************************** Comments: Woot! Looks like I'll put up the first tab for this song! This is the date that BLG released the single on their Myspace. I won't say this tab is 100% correct, but it's pretty close. This is only my second tab, so it wil be somewhat confusing. Post any comments or corrections you have. Enjoy! P.S: I have a video of me playing it. Hope this helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF2gtxMFTs8 **************************************************************************** Key: h = hammer-on PM = palm mute x = mute ~ = hold note \ = slide down * = harmonic **************************************************************************** TUNING: Drop D with a capo on the first fret. It's completely optional, but you may want it to play the open D# during the chorus. If you don't have a capo, simply bar your finger on the first fret wherever you see open chords. For the final chorus, bar your finger on the third fret. EDIT: Alright, so apparently it makes an oh-so huge difference whether you play the song in Drop D or Open D Tuning. Technically, BLG plays a good amount of their songs in Open D Tuning. I personally choose Drop D because Open D produces too full of a sound and sometimes lets the treble strings overpower the bass strings. It's personal preference I guess. If you want to play the rhythm guitar part in Open D, simply tune to that and then bar your fingers across all of the strings instead of just the 6th, 5th, and 4th. If you do this, make sure you play the 10th fret on the 6th string for the C chord during the chorus rather than the 3rd fret on the 5th string. Confusing? Well have fun with that. **************************************************************************** GUITAR I (RHYTHM)- Intro: "(Na na na na na na na na na)...." e)--------------------------------| B)--------------------------------| G)--------------------------------| D)-0~-8-6~-0~-8-66666666-88888888-| A)-0~-8-6~-0~-8-66666666-88888888-| D)-0~-8-6~-0~-8-66666666-88888888-| "(Hey!
