• Song:

    Havent Slept In Years

  • Artist:

    Matthew Good Band

Tabbed by: John Metzler 

The first part is pretty easy to figure out from just listening to the CD, but
if you can't, here's the easy way to do it...

(Version 1)
e|---------------------|------------------3----------|
B|-3h5--3-0---0-3h5-3--|-3h5--3-0---0-3h5------------|
G|---------------------|---------------------0-------|
D|---------------------|-----------------------------|
A|---------------------|-----------------------------|
E|---------------------|-----------------------------|
Now the it's just the bass playing the notes E - G - C - D

I saw Matt Good play the above part live and he used a different fingering. I
think he played it the Version 2 way so he could get the D string's harmonic on
the 12th fret which is indicated by brackets (12).

(Version 2)
e|-----------------------------|--------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|--------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|------------------------(12)----|
D|-12h14--12---------12h14-12--|-12h14--12---------12h14--------|
A|-----------14---14-----------|-----------14---14--------------|
E|-----------------------------|--------------------------------|

Then after a verse or two he plays an extended version of that riff which starts
off with the above part and then goes on with this...

e|---------------------------|--------------|--------------|
B|---------------------------|--------------|--------------|
G|-12-------12-(12)------12--|--------------|--------------|
D|-----------------(12)------|-0---0--0-----|-0---0--0-----|
A|---------------------------|-10--10h12----|-10--10h12----|
E|---------------------------|--------------|--------------|

e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-0---0--0--0---0-------0---0---| Then the gutiar cuts off and the bass
A|-10--10h12-12--10------12--10--| slides down the fret board.
E|-------------------------------|


Verse:
Immediately after Matt sings "...you're only human" he comes in with...

  Cadd9  D4 Em?       G
e|-333---333---333---3---3---3--|
B|-333---333---333---3---3---3--|
G|-000---222---000---0---0---0--|
D|-222---000---222---2---0---2--| This repeats until...
A|-333---xxx---222---2---2---3--|
E|-xxx---xxx---000---0---3---x--|

Immediately after he sings "...you're dead" comes...

e|-xxx/xxx--|
B|-333/555--|
G|-000/000--|
D|-222/444--|
A|-333/555--|
E|-xxx/xxx--|

Chorus: (X2)

Em                    G     Cadd9      Cadd9/D?
   Haven't slept in years

Em                G  Cadd9    Cadd9/D?
   Haven't talked to any......bo....dy else...

Bridge:
(individual picking of strings in this part)

Cadd2     Dadd9        Cadd2
....else         Anybody   else

Repeat bridge once, then end with a Dadd9 chord.


Dadd9  D4  Cadd9  Cadd2  Em? D? (what are the last 2 chords called?)
e-0    -3     -3     -0     -3  -x
B-3    -3     -3     -3     -3  -5
G-2    -2     -0     -0     -0  -0
D-0    -0     -2     -2     -2  -4
A-x    -x     -3     -3     -2  -5
E-x    -x     -x     -x     -0  -x
