Ok, ASOB is not very easy to figure out cuz they have so many parts going on
simultaneously. Here's how I play it, it sounds good, people who know ASOB like it.
It's in standard tuning.
Eo - is E played in open position
Ao - is A played in open position
Es - is the E for the ska riff, its the top three notes of an E in the 7th position
As - is the A for the ska riff, its the top three notes of an A in the 5th position
Bs - is the B for the ska riff, its the top three notes of a B in the 7th position
All 5 chords are only the root and the 5th, exclude the octave.
1,2,3,4
Eo, Ao, Eo, Ao (B) C#m Ao B
Bass line riff:
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-2-2-----------------|
E|-----0-0-2-2-4-------|
Pre-Verse (very fast up beats, the ska part)
Es As Bs x4 (the last time on the A and B do hard hits on the down beat)
Verse: The autumn came in like concrete at my face...
Es As Es Bs x3
Es As A5 B5 (again hard and on the down beats)
E5 A5 E5 B5 x3
E5 A5 A5 B5 ...everything is upside down I want those time I can't forget...
Chorus: EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FALLING APART!
Eo Ao Eo Ao (b) C#m Ao B (bass line riff)
Pre-Verse Again...
Verse Again...
Chorus: EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FALLING APART!
Eo Ao Eo Ao (b) C#m Ao B (hold the B no riff)
Bridge: (single hits)
A B
Well it's going to rain tonight
A
So everything is miserable
B A (rhythm picks up)
Smoke some more and then I'll go back in and hate
B
It's going to rain tonight
A
but it's gotta stop eventually
B
Let's anticipate the sun and warmth and raise our fists and sing...
Eo E7 (root 5 ska beat) A(root6)
EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FALLING APART, but I can't
Eo E7 (root 5 ska beat) A (root6)
EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FALLING APART, but I can't
Eo Ao
EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FALLING APART (repeat till end)
