"Teardrop" from the album Mezzanine by Massive Attack Tabbed by gerardpacificar@hotmail.com Here is my take on this haunting song. Chord Definitions Intro VERSES CHORUS Asus A Cadd9* G F* G* E-0-- -0-- -3-- -3-- -0-- -0--| B-3-- -3-- -3-- -3-- -0-- -0--| G-2-- -3-- -5-- -4-- -2-- -4--| D---- -3-- -5-- -5-- -3-- -5--| A-0-- -0-- -3-- -5-- -3-- -5--| E---- -0-- -3-- -3-- -0-- -0--| *These are variations on the standard chords. --------------------------------------------- INTRO (Just pluck the strings on an Asus chord) E------------0------------------0-----| B----------------3-------3------------| G--------2-----------2-------2--------| D-------------------------------------| A----0--------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| (let the open A note ring for the entire measure) E------------0------------------------| B----------------3-------3------------| G--------2-----------2-------2---2----| D-------------------------------------| A----0--------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| For the most part it seems, this melody is played in the background during the verses.
