Van Halen - Crossing Over guitar tab

CROSSING OVER

Crossing Over is a fairly easy tune to play; I haven't tried to figure it

note-for-note exactly but the following will suffice for jamming with the

CD. It's in the key of F until the harmonizing guitars come in at the

end, if that helps.

The beginning sequence has tapped harmonics (at the octave) for the

following chords:

Dm Dsus2 C Csus2

E 5 5 3 3

B 6 5 5 3

G 7 7 5 5

D 7 7 5 5

A 5 5 3 3

E x x x x

The next part is similar to the beginning of Black and Blue (the fingering):

C F C E D Dsus2

E x x x x x 5

B x x x x x 5

G 5 10 5 9 7 7

D x x x x x 7

A 3 8 3 7 5 5

E x x x x x x

D F G A G Csus2

E x x x x x 3

B x x x x x 3

G 7 10 12 14 12 5

D x x x x x 5

A 5 8 10 12 10 3

E x x x x x x

Play the C, F, C, E, D, Dsus2 thing again, and then play D, F, Bb, A, G,

Csus2.

Verses:

Play a muted Dm, Dsus2, C, and Csus2. With the single ascending note on

the B string.

Chorus:

An F and A arpeggiated thing:

E ---------------------------------------------------------------

B ---------------------------------------------------------------

G ----0----2-3-2------0----2-3-------0----2-3-2------0----2-3-2--

D -------3---------------3-----2--------2---------------2--------

A -3----------------3----------0---0---------------0-------------

E ---------------------------------------------------------------

And - my favorite part - one of the 'screams' at the end is a harmonic on

the G-string at about 2.2 frets.

Hope it is clear.
