------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COUGH SYRUP - Young The Giant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: bryce_fred E-mail: brycefred113@gmail.com Tuning: Standard I highly recommend the tab by McAvro for this song. However, as this song is in the key of D, I don't believe a capo makes the song any easier to play, and I doubt I'm the only one who finds it somewhat annoying to retune my guitar for a capo. Also, for whatever reason, I'm particularly fond of open strings. The only caution I have for playing it this way is that the second note of the song is clearly an F# and not an A, though F# doesn't fit my picking pattern too well (or fingerpicking pattern. I'm not sure how to aurally distinguish the two). e|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| B|------3---2---2----|--0---0-------0-2--|------2---0---0----|-------------------| G|----2---2---2---2--|----2---2---2------|----0---0---0---0--|--2---2-0-------0--| D|--0---0---0---0----|--0---0------------|-------------------|----2-------4------| A|-------------------|----------0---0----|--0---0---0---0----|--0---0---0---0----| E|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| e|-------------------|----------0---0----|-------------------|--0----------------| B|------0---2---2----|--3---3------------|------2---3---3----|-------------------| G|-------------------|-------------------|----0---0---0---0--|-------------------| D|----0---0---0---0--|----0---0---0---0--|-------------------|-------------------| A|-------------------|-------------------|--0---0---0---0----|--0----------------| E|--3---3---3---3----|--3---3---3---3----|-------------------|-------------------| The good news is the song follows the same pattern for the verse except for a few nuances thrown in at measures 3 and 8, which I'm sure you can figure out (or throw in your own spontaneous nuances, like the pros). Note: This is my first tab, and I put this all together today. Plus, I'm not a great guitarist (heck, I can barely play this song), so I wouldn't be surprised if I made some fatal flaw along the way. Please give me your feedback. I hope you find it helpful.
