>> Another song from musical comedy duo, Ylvis! Once again, they use some very interesting chords progressions and transitions. I was originally going to make this tab with the guitar tuned down half a step so you can hit the low Eb (D#) note during the verse chords, but I think most people would prefer a standard tuning version. Regardless, I have included a Bonus Intro section at the bottom of the tab for those feeling ambitious enough to play it a half step down. ;) There are a lot of subtle chord variations throughtout the songs (like sus2 sus4 6 maj7b5). You can always simplify the chord and use a regular major/minor chord if you find them to be too cumbersome. As always, listen to the song while playing with the tab to get the timing down! ------------------------------- CHORDS USED IN INTRO AND VERSES Gm (3xx333) Gsus2 (3xx233) G5 (3xx033) D#maj7 (xx1333) D#maj7b5 (xx1233) D#maj7* (xx1033) ------------------------------- **If you want an easier variation, just use Gm and D#maj7 for intro and verses** (Or you can omit using the G5 and D#maj7*) ------------------------------------------------------ Stonehenge - Ylvis INTRO | Gm Gsus2 | Gm Gsus2 G5 | | D#maj7 D#maj7b5 | D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj7* | VERSE 1 Gm Gsus2 G5 My life is so successful Gm Gsus2 G5 I've got everything a man could D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj* ever need. Gm Gsus2 G5 Got a 1000 dollar haircut Gm Gsus2 G5 And I even have a talk show on D#maj7 D#maj7b5 | D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj7* TV Cm Dm D# And I know I should be happy, but instead Gm Fsus4 F There's a question I can't get out of my head. CHORUS 1 **Easier Variation: Substitute F for F6 and D# for D#maj7 F6 (1x3231) D#maj7 (x6878x) C Gm What's the meaning of Stonehenge? D# D#maj7 It's killing me that no one knows F6 F Why it was built 5000 years ago. C Gm Why did they build the Stonehenge? D# D#maj7 How could they raise the stones so high F6 F Cm Completely without the technology Dm D# We have today? VERSE 2 Gm Gsus2 When I make my jalapeņos Gm Gsus2 G5 Calamari and prosciutto D#maj7 D#maj7b5 | D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj7* I'm the king!

D# D#maj7 A giant granite birthday cake Fsus4 F Or a prison far too easy to G Am escape? BRIDGE (technically starts with the G on "escape?") F Stonehenge! Stonehenge! Lots of stones in a row! G They were 25 tons each stone, my friend Am But amazingly they got them all down in the sand F And they moved it (Stonehenge!) And they dragged it (Stonehenge!) G Asus4 And they rolled it 46 miles from Wales! CHORUS 3 D F#m G Am What's the deal with Stonehenge? F Fmaj7 You should have left a tiny hint Gsus4 G D When you made this fucking labyrinth, of stone! (Who the...) Am Who the fuck builds a Stonehenge? (fuck builds a Stonehenge?) F Fmaj7 Two Stone Age-guys wondering what to do Gsus4 G Who just said: "Dude, let's build a henge or two!" OUTRO **Chords in () are optional but compliment the voicing of the song** A G I would give anything to know (Em) (Bm) A About the Stonehenge G Yeah, I would give all I have to give (Em) (Bm) A Would you give them your car? G Mmm Are you kidding me, of course I would have given the car (Em) (Bm) A What car do you drive? G Drive a Civic, drive a Civic. Drive a Civic! (G) (Em)(Bm) A A car you can trust! G Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge What henge is that again? A It's the Stonehenge, it's the Stonehenge! G A God, it is the greatest henge of all! C#m D Em G What's the meaning of Stone-henge?! -------------------------------------------------- There's the tab! As you can see they use all sorts of music tricks by using chords from different keys. You can make some of the chords more complex to better match the piano if you'd like, though the chords I used above should provide just enough flavor making the song overly difficult. Tune guitar half a step down and play the following for the intro (let the notes ring): eb|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|--4----4-----4----4-----4----4----4----4----4----4----4----4----4-----4----4----4--| Gb|--4----4-----3----3-----4----4----3---------4----4----3----3----4-----4----3-------| Db|----------6----------------------------6----------------------------------------6--| Ab|---------------------6---------------------------------------------7---------------| Eb|--4---------------------4-------------------0-------------------0------------------| Then play the rest of the song as normal but shift each chord one half step up (one fret).
