Okay, another tab i am changing slightly... simplifying the hard parts, taking out
the parts i had in my tab that were actually played by the bass, and adding a different
version of the chorus which is what Jack plays live rather than the little country soundng
lick on the album... enjoy...
special tab sign => and )'s mean the notes are quickly muted..!!
INTRO
----7/9\7---4/7\4---3/5\3---2/4\2~-------------- ----7/9\7---4/7\4---3/5\3---2/4\2~-------------- -----------------------------------------9------ -----------------------------------------9------ ------------------------------------9/11---11p9- --7-------4-------3-------2---------------------
VERSE (riff 1)
[B] [G#]
|----7)----------4)--| |----7)----------4)--| |.------------------.| |.------------------.| |--------------------| |--7-----------4-----|
VERSE (riff 2)
[C#] [F#]
|----9)------2)--| |----9)------2)--| |.--10)------3)-.| |.--11)------4)-.| |---11)------4)--| |--9-------2-----|
on the last repetition of this verse riff use FILL 2 from below after the
F# bass note to move back to verse riff 1...
some examples of fills that can replace the G# chord
FILL 1 FILL 2 FILL 3
--------------------|-----------------|---------------------- --------------------|-----------------|---------------------- --------------------|-----------------|---------------------- --------------------|-----------------|------------11\9~----- ----------9---------|-----------------|----------9----------- --4--9/11---11p9--7-|--4--9/11-7-9-7--|--4--9/11----------7--
so just fuck around with those, and any others are just variations on that anyhow...
then the fun part... the CHORUS...
----0~--0-0-----0~---0---0---0----2---2-2-----2---2---2---2- ----0~----------------------------2-------2h4---2----------- ----1~------4h6----4---2---1------3-----------------4---3--- ----2~----------------------------4------------------------- ----2~----------------------------4------------------------- --0-0~--------------------------2-2-------------------------
A much easier version of the chorus can be played, like Jack does it when he plays live..
----0)----------0)----2)-----------2)-- ----0)----------0)----2)-----------2)-- ----1)----------1)----3)-----------3)-- --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- --0----0-0--0-0-----2-----2-2--2-2-----
then just descending major bar chords with the root on the 6th string
(ie the E shape)
CHORD: B / G# / F# / E x3
FRET: 7 4 2 0
then
CHORD: B / G# / G ~~~
FRET: 7 4 3 and hold
in case you don't know the terms above the shape for the B (7th fret) is
E|-7-|
b|-7-| So just start with that, then move it down to the 4th fret etc.
G|-8-|
d|-9-|
a|-9-|
E|-7-|
