Spanish Sahara Foals
Spanish Sahara by Foals
-----------------------
Few tabs up already, but they didn't seem quite right to me, pretty sure this is
close if not spot on
Main Chord Progression:
-----------------------
[Fm] [C] [Em] [C] [Bm]
e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------| D|--7-------10-------14-------10----9------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|--8-------12-------15-------12----10-----------|
Repeats for the entire song, with only the plucking/strumming varying
I usually hybrid pick the intro, try to put the emphasis on the higher note,
as this is the root
Pre Chorus
----------
Instead of plucking those chords, pick them, increasing in volume
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---7---7--------10----10--------14----14---------10----10-------9----9-------| A|---------X4--------------X4-------------- X4--------------X2-------------X2--| E|-8---8------ 12----12--------15----15---------12----12-------10---10---------|
Chorus:
-------
Strum the main chord progression
Second guitar tremolo picks this chord towards the end of the chorus
e|-----------------------------------------------| B|--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-------------------------| G|--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|
Second Verse:
-------------
Second guitar adds some volume swirls:
e|--17~-X4--15~-X4-------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|
Build after second chorus
-------------------------
Yannis plays this guitar part
e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-17-17---16-16-16-14-14-14---------------------| D|---------------------------15--17--14------X2--| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-17-17---16-16-16-14-14-14-16-16-16------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-17-17---16-16-16-17-17---16-16-16-------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|
Then, another guitar overdubs that riff
e|----------------------------17-15--------------| B|-17-17---15-15-15-----------------17-----------| G|------------------17-17-17-----------X2--------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-17-17---15-15-15-----------15-15--------------| G|------------------17-17-17--------17-----------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|----15----15-15----15-15----15-15--------------| G|-17----17-------17-------17--------17----------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|

[-----]After the above is played, one guitar repeats this 3 note arrpeggio:
e|-------------------------------------------------| B|--------17---------------------------------------| G|-----14------------------------------------------| D|--17---------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------|
occasionally he will throw in some variations, the
order of these is fairly random, so have some fun experiementing

e|-----------------------------------------------| B|--------18-------------------------------------| G|-----14----------------------------------------| D|--17-------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|
Var 2
e|-----------------------------------------------| B|--------17----------------15-------------------| G|-----14------THEN------14----------------------| D|--15----------------15-------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|
And we're done, enjoy!
