Absynthe Minded
?Little Rascal?
As It Ever Was (2012)



Tuning : Half step down





Actually, you have to play the bass during the song :

    F#               E               C#
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------/4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|
Eb|--2---2-2-2-2-2-2-0---0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------|



But if you want to play the song without other instruments, I think you should play the 
entire chords :

Before the lead guitar outro, you can play this :

eb|-----------------------------------|
Bb|-----------------------------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------|
Ab|-/4---4-4-4-4-4-4/4---4-4-4-4-4-4--|
Eb|-----------------------------------|




While the rhythm guitar is still playing the verses chords, the other guitar plays the 
outro :

eb|--------9-------9-----------9-----9---------------|
Bb|-----10------10------10---9-----9-----9-----------|
Gb|--11------11------11----9-----9-----9-------------|
Db|--------------------------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------------------|

eb|-------12------12------12------12------10------9--|
Bb|-----9-------9-------9-------9--------------------|
Gb|--------------------------------------------------|
Db|--11------11------11------11-------11------11-----|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------------------|






*Sometimes, in live performances, Jan plays some notes during the second part of the 
verses :
 eb|----------------------------------------------------------------|
 Bb|--9~----9~----9~----9~---- or ----9h10----9h10----9h10----9h10--|
 Gb|----------------------------------------------------------------|
 Db|----------------------------------------------------------------|
 Ab|----------------------------------------------------------------|
 Eb|----------------------------------------------------------------|


*If you want to play this song on standard tuning, the chorus are Fm, Eb and Cm. For the 
lead guitar, move your fingers one fret to the left.
