A great song, kind of hard to tab though because there's so much going on...
Tuning: Dropped D (DADGBe)
*The guitar part throughout the song is basically just playing octaves:
Intro riff (played between the verses too)
e|------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------6----| D|---7---7---7---7---7---7-----7-----7---7---7---7---7---7-------7--| A|------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-7---7---7---7---7---7---7-0---0-7---7---7---7---7---7---7-0------|
Verses
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---| e|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|---------------------------------| D|---0---0---7---7---0---0---4---4-| A|---------------------------------| D|-0---0---7---7---0---0---4---4---|
Since the song is entirely based around this structure (the chorus is picked like that
I won't tab the rest...but here are the chords for the entire song:
Intro A, D
[A]I keep my head uptight
I make my plans at n[F#m]ight
And I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep 'til it's [D]light
Something's [A]flowing, someone [D]buried a[F#m]live
[ Tab from: bttp://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wolf_parade/sbine_a_ligbt_tab.btml ]
(A, D between verses)
Chorus
[E/G#]You know our hearts beat time out [F#m]very slowly[E]
[E]You know our hearts beat time
They're [D]waiting for [A]something that'll [F#m]never arrive
*then, right before the last chorus:
[Bm]Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
[E]Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
[Bm]Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
[F#m]Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
The last chorus is just the guitar which is going:
(you know our... ...very slowly)
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---0---0---7---7---4---4---4---4-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---0---0---7---7---4---4---4---4---| e|-----------------| B|-----------------| G|-----------------| D|---4---4---4---4-| A|-----------------| D|-4---4---4---4---|
(AKA E, F#m, E, D, A, F#m)
The outro is just F#m, with *maybe* a D chord thrown in there (similar to the rhythm of
intro chords, replace the A with the D) but it's hard to tell because the toms on the
kind of muddy the bass
Chords: (I'll give the dropped D chords too - they might be easier)
[EADGBe] [DADGBe]
A [x02220] [x02220]
D [xx0232] [000232]
F#m [244222] [444222]
E/G# [422100] [679900]
E [022100] [222100]
Bm [x24432] [x24432]
