Flat Tuning Eb Ab Db Gb
I learned this with the aid of a guitar tab of the old acoustic bootleg.
This version is a bit different though.
I find it's best to keep in time with the guitar, which is 6 beats per bar.
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
(you don't have to slide it, but Melissa/D'arcy does sometimes, and I think it
sounds nicer =)
Riff #1 (intro/verse/outro)
Gb|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-000-000--000-000-/-999-999--999-999-\-777-777--777-777-\-555-555-|
Riff #2 (chorus)
Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444-\-222-222--222-222-/-555-555--555-555-\-000-000--000-000-|
Gb|-----------------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444-\-222-222-/-555-555--555-555-|
Back to the verse, then -
Riff #3 (chorus 2)
Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444-\-222-222--222-222-/-555-555--555-555-\-000-000--000-000-|
Gb|----------------------------------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444-\-999-999-/-222--222-/-555-555--555-555-|
Then right after that there's
Riff #4 (Bridge)
Play this only one beat per bar at first, then build up with the band.
Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-0--------0---------4--------4-------\-0---0----5---5---\-4---4----4---4---|
Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-0---0----5---5-----4---4----444-444-/-777-777--777-777-\-555-555--444-444-|
And then back to the Riff #1 coda to end the song. Simple song, nice timing, great album.
Download it!
Enjoy!
