Candlebox "You" From the album "Candlebox" Tab by Joe Costello (jcostello86@gmail.com) Since this song was released as a single about 15 years ago, and there's been no complete version of the song for about that long, I'm finally getting unlazy and tabbing it. Complete, with the solo. Yay. Now that I'm done ranting, here's the tab of one of the greatest songs ever. Standard tuning: (E A D G B e) Symbols used: ============= h = hammer-on p = pull off 17b(19) = bend 17th fret to the pitch of the 19th v = vibrato / = slide up \ = slide down 2* = let note ring Intro: (Clean tone, fade in) *Lightly palm-mute the notes on the G string e|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| B|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------2--3--| G|--2h4--4--4--2--4--|--2h4--4--4--2--4--|--2h4--4--4--2--4--|--2h4--4--4--------| D|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| A|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| E|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| Riff 1: (Band enters here) e|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| B|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------2--3--| G|--2h4--4--4--2--4--|--2h4--4--4--2--4--|--2h4--4--4--2--4--|--2h4--4--4--------| D|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| A|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| E|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| e|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| B|-------------2--3--|-------------2--3--|-2-3-5-7-5-3-2-3-2---2-3--| G|--2h4--4--4--------|--2h4--4--4--------|-------------------4------| D|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| A|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| E|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| Verse: (7x) (4x) (3x) e|--------------------||-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------| B|--------------------||-------------2--3--|------------5-3-2--|-------------2--3--|-2-----| G|--2h4--4--4--2--4--*||--2h4--4--4-------*|--2h4--4--4--------|--2h4--4--4-------*|---4v--| D|-------------------*||------------------*|-------------------|------------------*|-------| A|--------------------||-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------| E|--------------------||-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------| Chorus: (with distortion) (4x) e|----------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------*| D|---5-5--5---7-7--7---7/9-9--9--7/9--9--*| A|---5-5--5---7-7--7---7/9-9--9--7/9--9---| E|---3-3--3---5-5--5---5/7-7--7--5/7--7---| Then repeat Riff 1, and the verse Play the chorus 8x 3rd Verse: (clean tone, with delay or chorus) e|--2------|--2------|--2------|--2*------| B|--3------|--3------|--3------|----3*----| G|--4------|--4------|--4------|------4*--| D|---------|---------|---------|----------| A|---------|---------|---------|----------| E|---------|---------|---------|----------| -This repeats a lot of times, listen to the song to get the pattern.
