Artist: Lit Song: Down Tabbed by: Tim Herscovitch (Gringle@aol.com) DADGBE Tuning When doing the raking (x's), try to only hit the low E and A strings, and place your finger at the very end of the 4th fret. That should give you the high pitched whiny feedback noise, assuming you have enough gain (distortion) dialed in.

If you want, you can have a second guitar strumming the chords I put at the end of this staff, it will give the interlude a more complete sound, and I think it just might be the way it's done off the CD. e|-------2-----2---2------2----------------|---2----2---------------------------| B|---------2---------2---------------------|---2----2---------------------------| G|-----------3---------3-------------------|---3----4---------------------------| d|-----------------------------------------|---4----4---------------------------| A|--4-4---------9-9------------------------|---4----2---------------------------| D|--4-----------9--------------------------|---2--------------------------------| Repeat this part with minor improvisation a few times... BRIDGE ======== Repeat the first part twice, then go straight into the prechorus (I added it at the end of this staff). e|---------------------------------------------------|--------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------|--------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------|--7-7--7---5-5--5---------| d|-2-2-2---10-10-10---2-2-2---10-10-10---2-2--10-10--|--7-7--5---5-5--5---------| A|-2-2-2---10-10-10---2-2-2---10-10-10---2-2--10-10--|--5-5--5---3-3--3---------| D|-2-2-2---10-10-10---2-2-2---10-10-10---2-2--10-10--|--------------------------| ORDER ======= Main Riff Prechorus Main Riff (briefly) Prechorus Chorus Main Riff Prechorus Chorus Acoustic Interlude Bridge Prechorus Main Riff Chorus The bridge launches right into the prechorus, so instead of confusing you and ending at the "10" barre chord, I added the interlude to this staff. Hope you like this alternative to the other tabs out there, in my opinion this is the easiest and best sounding way to play "Down". As usual, this song doesn't have to be in drop-D tuning, but it makes it a heck of a lot easier.
