------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Ophelia - Abney Park ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : David Dubrow (Raccio14) e-mail: Raccio14@gmail.com Tuning:Standard 5-string (BEADG) This song CAN be played on a 4 string in drop-D tuning, however I have seen them live and he plays it on a 5-string. Ironically he has the same type of 5-string bass that I own, so I tabbed it for a 5-string. This was my first tab, but i worked really hard to make it perfect. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to email me. First half of the song: G|------------------------| D|------------------------| A|-----6h4-6--------------| E|---------------6--4--6--| X repeat until around 2:46 B|--4---------------------| (the final note played when it stops is the 4 on the B string, almost as if he is going to do it again and stops.) 2 seconds of rest before this starts at around 2:48: G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|------------6--4--6--| x7 (ends 1 measure before the singing comes back in) B|---4-4---------------| ("hit" the 4s on the B string to get the grizzly "thump" sound. The index finger works perfectly, and is actually what he does) G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| x9 B|---4-4---------------| (again, do the "hit" thing) This again G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| x repeat until 1 measure after the lead singer says "laid in the dirt" E|------------6--4--6--| you stop almost exactly at 4:18 B|---4-4---------------| (still do the hit on the B string) G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| x7 B|---4-4---------------| Final note: G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| B|---4~~~~~~~~---------| (it rings out for a while) | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~~~ let note ring out ===============================================================================
