This is an easy song to play and didn't take too long to tab out except for the interlude
thingy towards the end which I havent been able to figure out. Anyone out there who can
help me? If so, please email me. The song is in standard tuning, btw.
Intro:
Matt just plays the chords and Dave does this lead over top of them.
E G A C
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|---18----17----19/21/19---17/19/17---------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|---16----15----17/19/17---15/17/15---------------------|
play that four times, with the lead playing some variation of the above. i realize it can be
played in a lower position on the neck, but thats the way dave plays it live. i didnt bother
to put the strumming in there. the intro ends on an E major chord
the verses are simply the bass playing over the intro progression (E G A C). Also, Dave plays
little quiet riffs which i didnt include. they are derived from the descending riff found in
the pre chorus.
Pre Chorus:
E C G D
So bad i kinda felt i was the same
E C G D
so glad you heard
Dave plays this during the pre chorus:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-14-14-14-14-12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chorus:
Asus2 E C
Strangest one of all
Asus2 E
Strangest one of
Dave's bit is just a unison bend that he repeated plays during the entire progression:
|---------------|
|--5------------|
|--7^(9)--------|
|---------------|
|---------------|
|---------------|
From there it goes into the intro part again for two reps. The second verse
is the same as the first in that its just the bass with dave's subtle riffs. Then it goes
into the pre chorus and chorus which is the same as ive shown above. After the second chorus
comes the interlude thingy (where matt sings "when will you see......"). Dave picks over some
chords, but i cant figure it out. Help would be very much appreciated. After the interlude,
they go back into the intro chords, and then to the pre chorus. After that, they go into the
chorus chords and repeat that till the end.
Its a very simple song and im sure you'll figure it out. If you need any help i would love to
hear from you. Anyone out there have tabs for Giant? if not, then i might give that one a go
next.
