Tab by Sylvain (hailtojackdaniels@gmail.com / comments and questions welcome) This is how I play the song. It sounds quite similar to the album but I don't guarantee that the band plays it that way. I haven't included the solo for now. Have fun playing this great song from a great album by a great band. band: Sahg song: Slip Off the Edge of the Universe album: Delusions of Grandeur (2013) tuning: drop D I. intro: 6 chords (play 3 times each, listen to the album for the rythm) e --3--3--------3--3--3-| B --3--3--3-----3--3--4-| G --5--3--3-----5--4--3-| D --5--5--5-----5--5--5-| A -(3)-3-------(3)-3--6-| D -----5-----------5----| The last one can be played like this: e -6- B -6- G -8- D -8- A -6- D --- note: the sung part is played like this too ============================================= II. Interlude after the intro, play: 1 e ---------------------------------| B ---------------------------------| G ---------------------------------| D -0-0-x-x-8-8-x-x-7-7-x-x-6-6-x-x-| A -0-0-x-x-7-7-x-x-8-8-x-x-7-7-x-x-| D -0-0-x-x-----x-x-----x-x-----x-x-| 2 e -----------------------------------| B -----------------------------------| G -----------------------------------| D -0-0-x-x-8-8-x-x-7-7-x-x-11-11-x-x-| A -0-0-x-x-7-7-x-x-8-8-x-x-12-12-x-x-| D -0-0-x-x-----x-x-----x-x-------x-x-| 3 e -3-6---------| B -3-6---------| G -5-8---------| D -5-8---------| A -3-6---------| D -------------| Play 1 2 1 3 / 1 2 1, then move to III ============================================== III. Sung part ("Master of Astropolis, Verging on the black abyss...") See "I. intro": same chords and rythm ============================================== IV. Chorus ("Circle the night, devious satellite...") e -------------------------------------------------| B -------------------------------------------------| G -------------------------------------------------| D -------------------------------------------------| A ---------5---------5-3-0---------3---------3-1-0-| D -0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-------1-1-1-1---1-1-1-1-------| Sounds nice to slide the notes on the A string (up or down). You can also play this only on the low D string for badass slides. D -0-0-0-0-12----0-0-0-0-12-10-7----1-1-1-1-10----1-1-1-1-10-8-7-- e ---------| B ---------| G ---------| D -1-3-5-8-| A -1-3-5-8-| D -1-3-5-8-| (play chorus again) ============================================== V. Rythmic guitar while solo You don't really need to learn the three patterns because the changes are very small. For 100% accuracy, check the album. e -------------------------| B -------------------------| G -------------------------| D -------------------------| A -------2---0h2p0-0-------| D -0---3---3---------3-2-0-| e -------------------------| B -------------------------| G -------------------------| D -------------------------| A -------2---2h3p2h0-------| D -0---3---3---------3-2-0-| e -------------------------| B -------------------------| G -------------------------| D -------------------------| A -----3p2---0h2p0-0-------| D -0-------3---------3-2-0-| e -----------| B -----------| G -----------| D -3-5-7-10--| A -3-5-7-10--| D -3-5-7-10--|
