CHAPEL HILL by SY from DIRTY.Tabbed by nollie
No emails please
Thought I'd improve on Simon's chapel hill tab and also tab it for both guitars so here it is! Thurston's guitar is the one with more distortion while Lee's is the cleaner and slightly louder one.
TUNING: both guitars in EGDGED

play A 4 times, then Thurston plays B 4 times while Lee plays

high g: -3-4-4-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-7-6-5-7-5-3-
Then while bending the high g at 15th fret and then 17th fret
strum furiously and slide down after playing 17th (play this twice). Listen to the song and you'll see what I'm talking about (maybe)

Lee's cool second lead: / = bend note, listen to song to see how.
D ---------------------------------------------------------------------
E ----------------------/----------/-----------------------------------
G -4-------------------11--11-12--16--16-14-12-11~---------------------
D -4-4/5-7-7/9--7/9-9~-----------------------------9---------0-2-4-5-4-
G -4-------------------------------------------------4-4-4h5-----------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------Lee end's the song with:
D ---------------------
E ---------------------
G -2-------------------
D ---2-----------------
G -----2-0-------------
E ---------------------
Thanks to Simon for his last tab that I improved on (Or at leasthoped I did). Any "confusion is sex" tabs would be greatly appreciated (Inhuman, The World looks red, Kill yr Idols).
