Velvet revolver
Loving the alien-Contraband
Tabbed by scott bennett
I decided to tab this song as ITS A GREAT SONG and
no1 seems to hav done it properly yet especialy the chorus riff
so here u go
Youve got the chords in the verse fairly straight forward
C Am
Sometimes I think I'm scared, sometimes I know.
Em G
I feel like making love, sometimes I don't.
C Am
I feel like letting go, maybe not.
Em G
I feel like giving up, is all we got.
Chorus:
F G F G
Sometimes is all the time, and never means maybe.
F G
Sometimes is all the time,
C G
maybe, and I'm moving on,
C G
and I'm moving on, (sometimes I feel alone),
C G C G
and I'm moving on, and I'm moving on.
The next bit sounds like and F then a fill then a G
so its like
E--1--1-----------------------3--3-------------|
B--1--1-----------------------3--3-------------|
G--2--2-----------------------0--0-------------| x3
D--3--3-----------------------0--0-------------|
A--4--4---------8-7-5---------2--2-------------|
E--1--1----------------8-7-5--3--3-------------|
And the second guitar just plays the same sort of riff on the low strings
E------8--------8-7-5---------5--/--7----------|
B----6-----------------8-7-5-------------------|
G----------------------------------------------| x3
D----------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------|
now the chorus now all the tabs ive seen for this riff have been horribly
wrong so heres a decent version of the riff that actually sounds like it.
E------15----13----15----12----15----13----12-13-15------15----13----15----12----15----13----12-13-15---|
B---13----13----13----13----13----13----13------------12----12----12----12----12----12----12------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E------15----13----15----12----15----13----12-13-15------15----13----15---------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------12----12----12----12----15b(17)r------------------|
G---14----14----14----14----14----14----14--------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And kushner plays the chords
F G F G
Sometimes is all the time, and never means maybe.
F G
Sometimes is all the time,
C G
maybe, and I'm moving on,
C G
and I'm moving on, (sometimes I feel alone),
C G C G
and I'm moving on, and I'm moving on
Then theres a piece of lead in the verse with a slide
from the bend at the end of the chorus:
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B---15b(17)r-\-13----12\--10---10/--12---13/--15--15\--13--12\--10--10/--12--13/--15~---|
G---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
verse bridge & chorus
Then the bridge theres a sort of acoustic solo over the chords
Bridge:
D C G G
I never noticed. How lovely were the aliens? Lovely were the aliens.
D C G G
I never noticed. How lovely were the aliens? Lovely were the aliens.
