tab by marcos.nagato -- author's note -- This is a pretty simple and straightforward song with a couple of tricks here and there. I believe most of the tab is spot on. The verse may not be all those actual notes, but it's just an idea to follow those same chords playing one note at a time instead of strumming... and then change the dynamics for the pre-verse. Hope y'all enjoy!! ------------------- Standard tuning Intro: |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |---------------------------3~--| |--2--222-5~----2--222-5----1~--| |--0--000-3~----0--000-3--0-----| Chorus Riff: |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------7~--| |--------------------------------------------7--7--9-9-5~--| |--2-2-5-5--7----2-2--5-5-4----2-2-5-5--7----5--5--7-7-----| |--0-0-3-3--5-0--0-0--3-3-2-0--0-0-3-3--5-0----------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------3-----5----8-----| |--------------------------------------------5b7---7b9-10b12--| |-------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------| Verse: E G A E G F# E G A C D F |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------5-----7---5--| |------2-----5----------2-----5----------2-----5--------5-----7---3----| |----2-----5-----7----2-----5-----4----2-----5-----7--3-----5----------| |--0-----3-----5----0-----3-----2----0-----3-----5---------------------| Pre-Chorus ("his collars turned up") = verse chords but palm muted playing, and stay strumming on C before chorus.
