Underground Tab by Harvey Danger


"Underground" As played by Harvey Danger on the CD "King James Version"

The first part of this is played clean (no amp effects) and then at the end, it changes
to (overdrive? Can someone with an electric help this poor acoustic player out?)

[riff 1]

Riff 1 x4, start lyrics midway through the third time, then play the 1st half (notes start to
change), and move to:

E------------10-------------------10-----------------7--------7-|
B-----7--10------10--7-----7--10---------------4--7-----7--4--7-|
G--7--------------------7-------------7--6--4-----------------4-|

This is were it starts to get tricky:

Optional:
G--7--7--7--6--6--6--4--4--4--6--6--6--3-|
D--7--7--7--6--6--6--4--4--4--6--6--6--3-|
A--5--5--5--4--4--4--2--2--2--4--4--4--1-|

After that, start this (note: I'm not positive on this, it may be wrong, but it sounds close
enough for me)

B--[---------2-----------------2----------------3-----------------3---]
G--[------1-----1-----------1----------------2-----2-----------2------]
D--[---3-----------3-----3--------3-------4-----------4-----4--------4]
A--[4-----------------4----------------5-----------------5------------]
[riff 2]

Riff 2 x3, then play midway through (until the notes change) and then move to:

G--[7--7--7-|-7--7--7-|-7--7--7-|-7--6--5--4]
D--[7--7--7-|-7--7--7-|-7--7--7-|-7--6--5--4]
A--[5--5--5-|-5--5--5-|-5--5--5-|-5--4--3--2]
[riff 3]

Play riff 3 once, muted, then theres a small break (drums) and

G--7--6--4--6--3-|
D--7--6--4--6--3-|
A--5--4--2--4--1-|

Then the guitar drops out and the banjo takes over. I don't play the banjo, so don't expect
tabs for that part. The guitar comes back in after "What makes you think I won't cut you..."
with this (add amp effects):

D--12--12--12-|-12--12--12-|-12--12--12-|-12--11-10-9--(9--8--7--9)-9/4-|
A--12--12--12-|-12--12--12-|-12--12--12-|-12--11-10-9--(9--8--7--9)-9/4-|
E--10--10--10-|-10--10--10-|-10--10--10-|-10--9--8--7--(7--6--5--7)-7/2-|

Note: This is generally the same as riff 3, however, I play it a string lower simply because
of the last part (the slide)

Let the last cord hold out while Sean sings "And you just plead....", then pick scrape and
play Riff 2 (with amp effects) once, and midway through (notes change) start playing
Riff 3 for a total of 3 times, and finally end with this:

D--8--7--6--5--4-|
A--8--7--6--5--4-|
E--6--5--4--3--2-|

And let the last chord fade away. And thats it.

Personal note: To all of the people out there who have tried to tab out other people's songs, I
must say that I appreciate all the hard work put into making the things work. This experience
(if nothing else) has tought me that LOOKS alot easier than it really is. Now I gotta go buy
some asprin...
