• Song:

    Himerus Eros

  • Artist:

    Spill Canvas

So this is my first time tabbing and I'm not the best musician nor do I think I'm 100% 
correct on most things but I do not mind some constructive criticism. So here is my take 
on Himerus & Eros by The Spill Canvas.

There are three main chords used during the song played using different strumming and 
picking patterns.
There is some form of B, an F# and a G#m

The way I play the beginning picking pattern goes like this (I am aware that there is a 
little pull off thing at the end of the G#m but I don't play it and it sounds fine.):
   B             B                 F#            Abm (variation)
e-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------3---------------3---------------3---------------3----------|
D----4-----4---4----4-------4---4----4-----4---4----4---------4---4-|
A--2---2-----2----2----2------2-------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------2----2----2----4----4----4---4---|


B                B
You're captivating while evading
F#                Abm
All the questions I have for you like,
B                 B
"What exactly makes you tick?"
F#
When the guilt sets in tell me
G#m                     B   F#  G#m (hit once and then mute)
What are we going to do?

B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
Your tongue is wet with a top secret passion
F#              Abm
I hope I am the cause of it
B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
We'll navigate this unsturdy vessel
F#                            Abm
Through a soft sea of pillows and blankets
B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
F#(palm mute and slowly let off while strumming) G#m(hit once then let ring)

         F#             Abm
And I... fight the urge to explore
B
The vastness of your curves I adore
F#       G#m (hit and mute after each note, listen to the song for timing)
You know I, I hate you
B
No, I hate you more
F#       G#m (hit and mute after each note, listen to the song for timing)
You know I, I love you
B
No, I love you more

F#
Yes, it's true
Abm
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
B
I still somehow hope I end up with you
F#
Yes, it's true
Abm
I romanticize every single thing I do
B                               F#  G#m (hit once and then mute)
Especially when it comes to you

B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
I've sunken in the quicksands of love
F#                   Abm
And I don't want you to rescue me
B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
Screw what my supposed friends think
F#                     Abm
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
F#                     Abm
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
B(palm mute twice then let ring)  B
F#(palm mute and slowly let off while strumming) G#m(hit once then let ring)

         F#             Abm
And I... fight the urge to explore

You know I, I hate you
B
No, I hate you more

You know I, I love you
B
No, I love you more

F#

Abm
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
B
I still somehow hope I end up with you
F#
Yes, it's true
Abm
I romanticize every single thing I do
B
Especially when it comes to you

Eb                   D                    C#
I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired
          B      Ab
4 A.M..... lips
Eb                   D                    C#
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing
                        B       Ab              Bb(hit 
once)B(build up)
and the friction of..... hips     oh-oh-ooooh

F#
Yes, it's true
Abm
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
B
I still somehow hope I end up with you
F#
Yes, it's true
Abm
I romanticize every single thing I do
B                               F#  G#m (hit once and end it)
Especially when it comes to you



So that's it. Please feel free to rate it exactly how you feel about it and or let me 
know if there are other parts in here where the timing may be off or if there is a better 
chord to use than what I am doing.
