I made quite a few additions and corrections but I couldn't have done it without him making a start. There are already two versions of this at Nevada with different tunings. I tried them both, but they're not so good. Take my word for it : this version is virtually note for note what you hear on the record. Give it a try and I think you'll soon agree. Please note - the exact details of the strumming etc are not included. Where a chord is repeated I have indicated that, but check out the record to be sure if he strums it 2, 3 or 4 times before changing shapes. What you have here is the TAB of all the changes, which is all you really need. There is a part which cannot really be played on one guitar - the bit where an electric guitar plays a little descending run while the acoustic plays chords. I've tabbed both parts for this - Guitar 1 is the acoustic, Guitar 2 is the electric. Also - the main part of the TAB (upto the bit marked 'Variation') is repeated quite a few times. I havn't shown the repeats because once you know how to play it it's obvious when it repeats again. The Variation bit replaces the equivalent two lines of TAB above it. I think this variation comes just before the 'heavy' bit where the drums and loud electric start up. I didn't TAB out the guitar for this - it's basically just chords of : G (320003@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)Enjoy!

I learned it from a friend a while back and thought Id tab it out for the beginners in the forum, to show you what fun alternate tunings can be. This is a modal tuning originally in D Acoustics: tune down to DGCGCD from low to high Electric: its easier to because of high tension strings tune 3rd string up to A (x02220@1) and the 2nd string up to Dfor (xx0232@1) EADADE low to high These are the main parts but not the song from beginning to end. Youll have to listen to the album for rythms and suquence of parts. __________ VERSE PART __________ --0----|--0--|--0--0--0--0-|-3-------|------------|E HIGH --7----|--6--|--5--5--3--2-|-3-------|------------|D --0----|--0--|--4--4--4--4-|-3-------|2-4-4-------|A --7----|--6--|--5--5--5--5-|-3-------|2-2-2-------|D --0----|--0--|0-0--0--0--0-|-----0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-|A -------|-----|-------------|---------|------------|E LOW play -0---0--0---0--|--0-----/----0-0| X2 -11--9--12--11-|--4----/-----9-9| -0---0--0---0--|--0---/------0-0| -11--9--12--11-|--4--/slow---9-9| -0---0--0---0--|--0-/slide---8-8| ---------------|----------------| -0---0--|--0-----|-5-5-----5-5-5---5-5-| -10--9--|--9-----|-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-| PLAYX2 -11--10-|--10----|-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-| || -12--11-|--10----|-5-4-----4-5-4---4-5-| || -0---0--|--0-----|-----5-5-------5-----|
