------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloudkicker - States ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist: Cloudkicker Album: The discovery Song: States Tuning: Drop B B, F#, B, E, G#, C# DISCLAIMER: I did NOT write the song! All credit goes to Ben sharp. (AKA Cloudkicker) I just wrote this tab, so people could learn this epic song. This song is very awesome and fun to play, so I thought I would make a tab since nobody else had done it, but keep in mind that I don't know much about time signatures and all that and the song is in like 15/4 so the bars does not really indicate the beat, they show more change of the riffs and melodies, for example in the intro when it goes from D# to B. Intro riff: D# first time around C#|-----------------------------------| G#|-----------------------------------| E |-----------------------------------| B |-----4-----4---4-----4-----4-----4-| F#|-----------------------------------| B |-0-4---4-4---4---4-4---4-4---4-4---| B first time around C#|---------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------| B |-----4---4-----4-----4---4-----4-----4-| F#|---------------------------------------| B |-0-0---0---0-0---0-0---0---0-0---0-0---| D# second time around C#|---------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------| B |-----4-----4---4-----4-----4---4-----4-| F#|---------------------------------------| B |-0-4---4-4---4---4-4---4-4---4---4-4---| B second time around C#|---------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------| B |-----4-----4-----4---4-----4-----4---4-| F#|---------------------------------------| B |-0-0---0-0---0-0---0---0-0---0-0---0---| C#|-----------------------------------| G#|-----------------------------------| E |-----------------------------------| B |-----4-----4---4-----4-----4-----4-| F#|-----------------------------------| B |-0-4---4-4---4---4-4---4-4---4-4---| Then another guitar plays this over the riff: C#|---------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------| B |-----7---7-----7-----7---7-----7-----7-| F#|---------------------------------------| B |-0-0---0---0-0---0-0---0---0-0---0-0---| C#|---------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------| B |-----7-----7---7-----7-----7---7-----7-| F#|---------------------------------------| B |-0-4---4-4---4---4-4---4-4---4---4-4---| C#|---------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------| B |-----7-----7-----7---7-----7-----7---7-| F#|---------------------------------------| B |-0-0---0-0---0-0---0---0-0---0-0---0---| C#|-----------------------------------| G#|-----------------------------------| E |-----------------------------------| B |-----7-----7---7-----7-----7-----7-| F#|-----------------------------------| B |-0-4---4-4---4---4-4---4-4---4-4---| then the same patterns are played with these chords C#|---|---| G#|---|---| E |-2-|-2-| B |-4-|-4-| F#|-0-|-4-| B |-0-|-4-| "Verse" riff C#|------------|-----------| G#|------------|-----------| E |-------(2)--|------(2)--| B |--------4---|-------4---| F#|-----0------|----0------| B |-0----------|-4---------| Then comes the intro riff again.
