Bad That Is Beautiful Tab by The Littlest Man Band


As far as I could tell, this band didn't have any correct tabs. Anywhere.

This song is fingerpicked on an acoustic in standard tuning


MAIN RIFF: This is played for most of the song. Difficult at first, but you get the hang 
it after awhile.
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------7----7---------------------------------|
G|-4---6p4---4-----------9---------------4p0----------9--|
D|-6-6----6---6---8----8-8-------2-----2-----2--4-6---9--|
A|----7-----7--7----9-7-----9-7----3----------3-5-7------|
E|-------------------------------5---5--5-----------0----|
Repeat this through the intro and the verse until "practice makes perfect..."

The chords used here are:

A    C#m     F#   Am
0     4      2     0
2     5      2     1
2     6      3     2
2     6      4     2
0     4      4     0
X     X      2     X
Pluck the bottom note of the chord once then strum the rest of the chord twice, except 
the Am at the end. Listen to it to figure it out.

A
Practice makes perfect is what they all say

    C#m                                    F#
But no amount of practice will be able to stop you

                         A                         Am
From turning everything bad that is beautiful

Back to the main riff until "smashing it to pieces..."

A
Smashing it to pieces may make you feel better

    C#m                                    F#
But no amount of smashing will be able to stop you

                        A                       Am
From feeling something bad that is beautiful


For the skat part, keep playing the main riff for 8 measures (the song is in 6/8)

Then play the second half of the main riff for 8
