------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's Nice to Know You Work Alone - Silversun Pickups ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ahrum Email: Themoogledance@hotmail.com This is probably my favorite Silversun Pickups song, for its gritty grunge feel to it. This is also a landmark for me and my guitaring, for while this is a pretty simple song, I've actually completed my first entire tab. I've only been playing guitar for 8 months, mind you. To get a good sound w/o pedals, I cut the tone to 0 on my guitar, use the rhythm pickups, and turn the treble and middle values on my amp to about 3 o'clock (12 o'clock being normal)... it's a pretty sick sound, and I enjoy playing that way. UPDATE: I submitted this in Eb tuning, but in further listens of the song, It's definitely in Drop D... my mistake Feel free to e-mail me w/ comments. Tuning: Drop D UPDATE: (4/17) Updated the Chorus and a bit of the Solo, also the last "main" riff, thanks to HappyGilmore899. UPDATE: (4/23) So, i bought the Silversun Pickups pack on GHWT, and, yes, it's fricken awesome... (The drums to this song are so much fun.. If you got it, LEMME DRUM FOR YOU Gamertag = AhrumBSTRD). BUUUT apparently there are some random notes during the chorus in the GH version of this song that I don't hear AT ALL in the album version. I'm stickin' w/ mine, so ehg. UPDATE: (4/29) Hopefully this is the final one. I'm revising the chorus a bit, 'cause i've noticed that it's not a full slide, it's more of a hammer on on the 4th string. I've been playing it like that for a while now, so I figure I should update this. UPDATE: (5/13) Been playing it more and more and have added a few changes to verse 2's power chords and finalized the chorus once and for all. Listen carefully in the song to hear. e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------| D|----7-5---7-5---7-5---7-5-7h8p7-3--3-1------------| A|-----------------------------------------3/5-5-3--| D|--------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------| D|--5/7-7-5---7-7-5-7h8p7-3-3-1-------------7b------| A|--------------------------------3/5-5-3-----------| D|--------------------------------------------------| Main Riff e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1-| D|--5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1-| e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3--3-3-3--3-5-5-| D|--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3--3-3-3--3-5-5-| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5-| D|--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5-| e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3--3-3-3--3-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-| D|--5-5-5--5-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3--3-3-3--3-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-| End Main Riff Chorus e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------4--------------------6----| G|--7---7--7-7-5---5--5-5-3---3-3-3-3--3-3-3---5---5-5-5-5--5-5-5--| D|--5---5--5-5-3---3--3-3-1---1-1-1-3--1-1-1---3---3-3-3-5--3-3-3--| A|--5---5--5-5-3---3--3-3-1---1-1-1-1--1-1-1---3---3-3-3-3--3-3-3--| D|--5---5--5-5-3---3--3-3-1---1-1-1-1--1-1-1---3---3-3-3-3--3-3-3--| e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|--7-----5-----3---3-3----5---5-5-----3-----5--| D|--5-----3-----1---3-1----3---5-3-----1-----3--| A|--5-----3-----1---1-1----3---3-3-----1-----3--| D|--5-----3-----1---1-1----3---3-3-----1-----3--| End Chorus * * e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------| D|----7-5--x7-5--x7-5---7-5-7h8p7-3-3-1-------------| A|----------------------------------------3/5-5-3---| D|--------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|---------------------------------| D|----5/7-7-5---7-7-5-7h8p7p5-7b---| A|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------| (This is strictly how I play it.
