============================================================== = "Don't Dream It's Over" by Sixpence None The Richer (2003),= = Originally done by Crowded House (1986). = = Tabbed by Medalion (medalionemissary@hotmail.com) = ============================================================== Standard Tuning (E A D G B E) One guitar -- the first guitar will play the open chords. Another guitar -- the second guitar will be playing the chords as barres upstroked once then muted softly, but only playing the first 4 strings so (D G B e) strings. Play on a clean electric with reverb, mute the chord slightly after play, so don't let it ring too much. Play the barre chord fragments alongside the open chords. Listen to the song to see what I mean. i.E. F1 for 2nd guitar E 8 B 8 G 10 <- just upstroke these parts, the E and A string are muted. D 10 .... A 8 E 8 ------------ Chord Legend (in EADGBe style) ------------ F1 (8 8 10 10 8 8) C (x 3 2 0 1 0) Am (x 0 2 2 1 0) F (1 3 3 2 1 1) Dm (x 0 0 2 3 1) Bb (1 1 3 3 3 1) ------------------ Soloing Tab Legend ------------------ s = quick slide from one note to another making a smooth transition h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = vibrato, vibrate note b = bend note to fret number after the b, i.e. 5b7 means bend 5th fret note to sound like the 7th fret note. t = tap note / = slide up to note after the / slowly \ = slide down to note after the \ slowly scrape = use your guitar pick to scrape along the fat E string ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro ----- F1 (this played by the 2nd guitar repeated several times) ** ** I can hear an acoustic mimicking the bassline as a subtle riff like this: e---------------------- B---------------------- G---------------------- D---------------------- A---------------------- E-1~--1-1---1-1---1-1-- After 4 repetitions, you hear this fill very softly: e-8-------------------- B-8-------------------- G---------------------- D---------------------- A---------------------- E---------------------- Then play the intro sequence again, but this time after the 4 repetitions use this fill: e-6---8---------------- B-8---8---------------- G---------------------- D---------------------- A---------------------- E---------------------- Verse 1 ------- F Dm There is freedom within There is freedom without Bb Am Try to catch the deluge in a paper-cup F Dm There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost Bb Am But

come F Dm To build a wall between us Bb We know they won't win Verse 2 ------- Now I'm towing my car There's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing their suspicions but there's no proof In the paper today Tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page Chorus ------------ Hey now hey now Don't Dream It's Over Hey now hey now When the world comes in They come they come To
