John 9
Capo 2 in A (B), standard-tuned six-string acoustic. Moderate tempo in 4.
This is as close to a finished product tab as I'm going. I could try and
actually tab out all the stuff derek does, but instead I just went a little
overboard on chord fingerings.
Anyway, this is the lead guitar part. For now you can get an accurate tab
of Cliff's rhythm part at caedmons-call.com as tabbed by Brett McLaughlin
. A couple corrections for if you're going to be playing his
rhythm tab along with this lead tab: the second line of verses two and three
Brett has as G, Am7, C, D--it should be G, D, C, D; just the opposite for the
second line of verse four, where Brett has G, D, C, D--it should be G, Am7, C,
D. Otherwise the two parts might not mesh well. Also note that Cliff's part
does not actually start until the second verse and drops out for the outro.
Derek actually plays this tuned open G9/D (DGDGAD) capo 4, but this
standard tuned version works OK. But for those willing to break strings I've
also listed the DGDGAD fingerings I use. I named all the chords accurately (as
far as I know) for the standard fingerings, so some of the names might be wrong
for the DGDGAD fingerings (not to mention that they're all off by a whole step
since the capos are at different frets), but they all correspond as far as
playing, which of course is all we really care about.
Derek made the comment to me, something like in standard tuning "you're not
going to be able to get ALL the notes." Not a direct quote, but that was the
gist. However, as far as I can tell, you can still get quite close as far as
notes. Either way, the "not-notes", the muted strokes, are going to be hard to
do if you're trying to play like derek. Good luck. You're probably going to
have to listen to the CD to learn this.
Use extensive palm-muting for the flat-picking in the intro and verses--
strum the bridges and choruses. The rhythm guitar (Cliff) enters after bridge 1
where you repeat the intro. The bass (Aric) enters at verse 3, stops for verse
4, and returns at bridge 3. Everything except lead guitar (derek) and a shaker
(Todd) drops out for the outro.

Capo 4 Capo 2 - Name
000000 X02200 A9
X20030 X20230 Bm7 (hammer 5th string)
200030 200230 D9/F# (hammer 6th string)
020000 022200 Esus4(no 3) (i wrote it as Esus)
024000 022100 E
242422 244222 F#m (slide down to E)
020200 E (in DGDGAD whenever NOT following an Esus4)
555555 557755 D9bar (slide down to E)
X50030 X00230 D9
these three occur in sequence at the end
020200 022400 E(no 3) } of bridges 1 and 2, but i just wrote them
020000 022200 Esus4(no 3) } as E*. what it is is E(no 3) for almost a
024000 026200 Esus4 } whole measure, Esus4(no 3) for the last half
beat of that measure, and Esus4 for the full
244000 200200 D9sus6/F# next measure. i really like the dissonance.
