This song is so moving... I'm pretty excited about this version. The I laid it out has kind of a classical feel. Make sure you have good plucking technique. all, keep it 'krispy.' Anyway, there was a bit of a problem. The little semitone thing that gives the song its vulnerability (i.e., 'bum... bum... BLANK... bum) does not sound as nice on a guitar as it does piano. I'll include the option so you can decide for yourself. This song has a lot of factors to it. I'm going to divide it up so it doesn't look so scary. Okay. Here is the melody. It is centered around a D chord. Again, I've tabbed out the note,' (the F on the D string) so you can use it if you want. E|------0---2---5-------0---2---7-----| B|--3---------------3-----------------| G|----2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---| D|----------(2)-----------(2)---------| A|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------| Now that you have learned the melody, you just need to play the baseline. Although fingering might be a little awkward, the concept is pretty easy. It is just a step by step walk down from D all the way to F. Each base note is played at the beginning of each melody bit (except for the jump from F to E, but I'll get that later). E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------| D|--0--------------------------------| A|-----4--2--1--0----------------0---| E|-----------------4--3--2--1-0------| I would just walk down that a couple of times while listening to the song to familiarize yourself with the baseline. Ok, back to the F to E thing... they are smashed together on purpose. You play them both in the same melody bit. It will make more sense in the big tab. This is 'the machine tab.' Base + melody. It's scary looking, but if you broke it down you should be fine. Just work through it.
