Golden Touch Razorlight
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: E A D G B e (standard)
OK, this is the way me and my band play it, and having checked playing along to the
it's about as correct as I can get!
These are the chords guitar one uses
C#m A B G#m G#m* E Emaj7/Eb A/F# B/G# D
e|-4--0--2--4---4---7----x------x----x---5-| B|-5--2--4--4---4---9----9------2----4---7-| G|-6--2--4--4---4---9----9------2----4---7-| D|-6--2--4--6---6---9----9------2----4---7-| A|-4--0--2--6---x---7----6------x----x---5-| E|------------------------------2----4-----|
The intro is just guitar one, and makes use of a reduced B chord, so I'll tab out these
bars, played by guitar one. The chords are played staccato and give a really cool intro!
Guitar 1
e|-------------------|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| B|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| A|-x-x-x-x-4-x-x-x-x-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| E|-------------------|-----------------|
Then you go into the verse, Guitar 2 plays nothing, and using the chord shapes I wrote
the top, this is the structure
VERSE
[A]I know a g[G#m]irl with a golden [C#m]touch
[A]She's got e[G#m]nough she's got too [C#m]much
[E]But I [Emaj7/Eb]know you would'nt [C#m]mind
A G#m*
You could have it all if you wanted
A G#m* C#m
You could have it all if it matters so much
(play C#m for the bridge between chorus and verse/verse and chorus etc. each time!)
CHORUS
[C#m]But then all they [B]know is [A]how to put you [A/F#]down[B/G#]
When you're [C#m]there they're your [B]friend, but [A]then when you're not [A/F#]around[B/G#]
They say [C#m]oh, she's [B]changed[A], we know what they [A/F#]mean[B/G#]
Well they [C#m]mean, they're just [B]jealous, because they'll [A]never do the things
that they [A/F#]wish that they could [B/G#]do so [C#m]well
Ok, from now on guitar one can either play the same chords softly for verse 2 and the
(it changes a bit in verse 3), or you can play an octave for the root of each chord-sounds
but isn't! It sounds like that's what the band actually play.
Here are the octave chords if you don't know how to play them
[C#m] [A] [B] [G#m] [E]
e|---------------| B|-6-----4-----9-| G|-x-----x-----x-| D|-4--7--2--6--7-| A|----x-----x----| E|----5-----4----|
When I play it I normally play a B octave instead of the G#m, it just sounds cooler! But
you use sounds fine. (play the normal E one for both E and Emaj7/Eb, and the normal A
B ones for A/F# and B/G#)
Now for the lead guitar. I'm not sure whether it's a guitar or synthesiser that plays
the first chorus, but with enough effects you can play it! So during chorus, one, guitar 2
this:
Guitar 2
CHORUS 1 (3 and 4 as well)
e|-----9----11----------------9-----------------| B|---9---------12----12----10---10-----10----12-| G|-9-----9--------11-----9----------11----13----| x4 D|----------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------|
This is the same as for chorus 3 and 4 except for one difference, when you play it the
time round in each case, you play this:
e|-----9----14----------------9-----------------| B|---9---------12----12----10---10-----10----12-| G|-9-----9--------11-----9----------11----13----| D|----------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------|
(Bear in mind that after the third chorus is played, you just play the chorus
[4)]
Only a very slight difference on tab but all the difference when playing!
These choruses both finish on another version of C#m, which looks like this
e|-12-| Or, if you prefer, this: e|--9---| B|-14-| A|--9---| G|-13-| D|--9---| D|----| G|--11--| A|----| B|------| E|----| E|------|
Ok, the lead guitar for verses 2 and 3 looks like this
e|--------------------------| B|-----5---4-----4-5-(hold)-| G|---6-------4--------------| D|-7-----7-----6------------| A|--------------------------| E|--------------------------| e|---------------------------------| B|---------7-----5-----------------| G|-----6-----------4-----(hold)----| D|---7---7---(4)-----(6)-----------| A|-7-------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| e|-----0--------0--------0--------0----| B|---9---9----9---9----9---9--7-5---5--| G|-9--------8--------6-----------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| e|-----------------------5--------7-----12----------9--------| B|-----7--------9------7---7----9---9-/-14--(hold)--9-(hold)-| G|---6---6----8---8--6--------8---------13-------------------| D|-7--------9------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
This part is played differently in the last verse, you do this instead
(VERSE 3) This is also where guitar one changes, and plays as follows:
[D] [A] [C#m] [D] [A] [C#m]
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|--7-----7--5-----5-------------7-----7--5-----5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G|----7--------6------6-(hold)-----7--------6------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| D|------7--------7-------------------7--------7----6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Ok, for the second chorus, you have to play this
e|--9------11------9------9---11----|----9-----11-----9------5--7-----| B|--9------12------10-----10--12----|----9-----12-----10-----7--9-----| G|--9------11------9------11--13----|----9-----11-----9------6--8-----| x2 D|----------------------------------|---------------------------------| A|----------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|
Right, that's everything now but the end, and this is what you play. Guitar one just
after playing one final C#m after the last chorus, but guitar 2 plays this:
(play quietly, and slow down towards the end)
e|------9------11---14h12--12-----------9-----11-----12---------| B|------10-----12----------14â??(hold)----10----12-----14â??(hold)--| G|------9------11----------13-----------9-----11-----13---------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| e|------9------11---14--12--------| B|------10-----12-------14â??(hold)-| G|------9------11-------13--------| D|--------------------------------| A|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|
Then the weird violin end comes in, sorry no tab for that!
I hope this isn't too confusing to read, my only defence is that it's the first tab I've written!
