Artist: Damien Rice Album: O Song: Prague (Hidden Track) ---------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sam Ghods July 30th, 2005 This tab is a result of listening to the album as well as watching live recordings such as the one at KCRW.com. The first bit is an exact transcription of the first 32 measures. That should give you a good enough idea of how to play the basic melody and where to put your hands... from there, you can just improvise the exact melody (as Damien does during live performances). I've also included some of one of the electric guitar parts, and the chords Damien uses for the main chorus section. Both the verse riff and the chorus chords have been verified through live concert video footage. There's a lot more that can be done, but this should be enough to get you started playing. Enjoy! * Damien fingerpicks the verses, but uses a pick for the main chorus part. He pulls it off by holding the pick with his index finger pressed against his palm during the verses, fingerpicking with his other fingers, then moves the pick to between his index finger and thumb to play the chorus chords. He does this on a number of his songs. * (Notes in parentheses are hardly played.)

My best guess for the electric part that comes in is basically: VERSE - ELECTRIC ====================== Em C7 e:--12-------------12----------------------------------------15----| B:-----12-12h13-12----12-12h13-12-13-------------13----------------| G:-----------------------------------12-12h14-12----12-12h14-------| D:-----------------------------------------------------------------| A:-----------------------------------------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------------------------| Em C7 e:--15-------------12----------------------------------------------| B:-----12-12h13-12----12-12h13-12-13-------------13----------------| G:-----------------------------------12-12h14-12----12-12h14-12----| D:-----------------------------------------------------------------| A:-----------------------------------------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------------------------| Am D Am D e:--------------------------------------| B:--12h13-12-12h13-12-12h13-12-12h13-12-| G:--------------------------------------| D:--------------------------------------| A:--------------------------------------| X 4 E:--------------------------------------| Then for the chorus section, the chords are (listen to recording for strumming pattern): MAIN CHORUS ====================== Em C Am B11/E e:--0-------0-------0-------0--------------------------------------| B:--0-------1-------1-------0--------------------------------------| G:--0-------0-------2-------2--------------------------------------| D:--9-------2-------2-------1--------------------------------------| A:--7-------3-------0-------2--------------------------------------| E:--0-------3--------------(0)-------------------------------------| He continues to play these chords (with slight variation) through the end of the song ("Darlin'... here's to you..."), until he resumes singing part of the verse, at which point he switches back to the verse riff. That should do it. Shoot questions/corrections to ksbsss123jr [at] hotmail [dot] com. Have fun!
