Living Saints Polar Bear Club
June 2011
Not sick this time! (I was staying home from school on account of being real ill when I
last made a
tab (Popular Science by Bayside)) I Just finished a couple summer classes and goddamn do
I wanna
play this song. Simply listening is no longer enough! I need to hear it move from my
fingers into my
loud, distorted electric guitar while I bang my head and (pretend) that I'm singing the
lyrics as
awesomely as Jimmy.
It's not entirely complete. They do a bunch of little lead stuff in the background, some
of which I
tried to get, but I'm too lazy and hungry to lift it all. I'll include them when I think
I've heard 'em
right off the bat.
Play kinda fast.
Intro riff:
Chords: D5 A D5 D
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7--| G|------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-7-7-7--| D|------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-7-7-7--| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Beat: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x (tap your foot
on those MF'n X's!)
The lead that's played on top of it:

Now for that awesome chorus riff:
Chords: G5 G5

Beat: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
that (5) is held from the last measure
Now play that riff again but you don't have to staccato the G5's or strum dead strings.
Just strum the sh*t out of those G's!
Now for those quick chord changes (Watch out! They're triplets!):
Chords: D5 G5 C5 G5 B5 G5 D5 G5 C5 E5 F#5 G5
e|------------------------------------|-------------------------------| B|------------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|------7-----------5-----------4-----|-7-----------5-----------------| D|------7-----5-----5-----5-----4---5-|-7-----5-----5-----2-----4---5-| A|------5-----5-----3-----5-----2---5-|-5-----5-----3-----2-----4---5-| E|------------3-----------3---------3-|-------3-----------0-----2---3-|

Beat: x x x x x x x x
There might be open D's in there...who knows! I'm not even sure I got this right in the
first place!
And now my favourite part!
"Troubles and normalcy..."
It's kinda hard to hear the individual strings but here's how I do.
There's also a lil hammer-on at the end...that I'm not including.
e|------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------| G|------------0-----------------0-----| D|----------4------------4----------4-| A|------3-----------5------5------5---| E|------------------------------------|
Beat: x x x x
I'm sure you'll figure out to play those last two riffs again.
But right before the second riff kicks-in for the second time,
there's a little octave riff that I think goes like this:
e|------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------| G|-----------------11-11--9-9---7-----| D|------------------X-X---X-X---X-----| A|------------------9-9---7-7---5-----| E|------------------------------------|
Beat: x x x x
I'm pretty sure there's also some lead bit played
beneath the second riff but I'm not gonna bother :P
[D5]Do you see me as [A5]your ac[F#5]quaintance
[D5]your death by time, age, [A5]and long [C5]distance
And now back to that sweet chorus riff!
There's another leady thing played
underneath the repeat, but again...
I ain't liftin' that right now!
(It's some octave sounding thing if you want to figure it out...)
e|------------------------------------|--| B|------------------------------------|--| G|------------------------------------|--| D|------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------0-----|--| etc. A|------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------------|--| E|------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---5-3h5-----5-|--|
Beat: x x x x x x x x x

Beat: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
Feel free to arpeggiate that D triad!
There's a couple high notes before that lead lick:

Beat: x x x x
For the outro just play a stripped-down version
of the chorus riff. Almost as if you're playing open chords.
For the G's play something like |-3-x-0-0-3-x-|
For that D in the end, play |-x-x-0-2-3(0)|
Hit an open high e on your upstroke before you...
End on a nice sustained C |-x-3-0-0-3-x-|
And that's it!
It's not perfect but it should suffice for those
who want to jam along as much as I do.
Much love, Polar Bear Club rules, Keep on loving music.
DFTBA,
Jason
