------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT NEW YORK USED TO BE - The Kills ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Filip Mesko Email: filip DOT mesko AT gmail DOT com Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps lower. This is to get the low, bassy tone which Jamie's got.) Basically the song is alternating between these two chords/notes: A# C C# |--------|--------| G# |--------|--------| E |--------|--------| B |---11---|---13---| F# |---11---|---13---| B |---11---|---13---| Alternatively: A# C C# |--------|--------| G# |--------|--------| E |--------|--------| B |--------|--------| F# |--------|--------| B |---11---|---13---| Sometimes Jamie's playing some fancy parts on the high strings. Kind of this but very alternating: A# C C# |-------------9-9---|---------------------| G# |-------------------|-------11----11------| E |---10--10-10-------|---12-----12----12---| B |---11--------------|---13----------------| F# |---11--------------|---13----------------| B |---11--------------|---13----------------| At 01:35 there is some sort of bridge (played twice): G# G F# F C# |-------|-------|-------|-------| G# |-------|-------|-------|-------| E |-------|-------|-------|-------| B |--(9)--|--(8)--|--(7)--|--(6)--| F# |--(9)--|--(8)--|--(7)--|--(6)--| B |---9---|---8---|---7---|---6---| I'm sure you can stitch it together!
