SONG TITLE: Nobody's Wife
ARTIST/GROUP: Anouk
ALBUM:
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk
**********************************************************************
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
Em (022000) E5 (022xxx) D5 (x577xx)
Cadd9 (x32030) C5 (x355xx) F (1332xx)
Am (x02210) A5 (577xxx)
G (320033) G5 (355xxx)
D/F# (2x0232) F#* (2xxxxx) Yes, I know one note is hardly a
chord but bear with me ;)
This song ROCKS! I think the verse picking is actually done by
two guitars, but I've only transcribed the main part.
INTRO:
------
This pattern is also used in the verses:
PATTERN 1:
Em Cadd9 Am G D/F#
E|----------0-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0----0-------3--------------0--1-0-------------------|
G|-----0------------0----0---0-----2---------------0----2-----|
D|-------------------------2---------------------0--------0---|
A|---------------3--------------0-----------------------------|
E|--0-----------------------------------------3------2--------|
Play that twice for the intro and then keep playing it in the
verses.
The last time you play the pattern in the verse, it's a little
different. Then it goes like this:
PATTERN 1B:
Em Cadd9 F
E|----------0------------------------------|
B|-------0----0-------3--------------------|
G|-----0------------0----0---0--2----------|
D|-------------------------2----3----------|
A|---------------3--------------3----------|
E|--0---------------------------1----------|
|played with distortion.
In the first verse you play PATTERN 1 three times, then
PATTERN 1B once. In the second verse you play PATTERN 1
five times, then PATTERN 1B once.
VERSE 1:
--------
Em
I'm sorry
Cadd9 Am
for the times that I made you scream
G D/F# Em
for the times that I killed your dreams
Cadd9 Am G D/F#
for the times that I made your whole world rumble
Em Cadd9 Am
For the times that I made you cry
G D/F# Em
for the times that I told you lies
Cadd9 F
for the times that I watched and let you stumble
CHORUS:
-------
E5
It's too bad
C5 A5
but that's me
G5 F#* E5 C5 A5
What goes around comes around you'll see
G5 F#* A5 D5
that I can carry
G5 C5
the burden of pain
A5 D5
cause it ain't the first time
G5 C5
that a man goes insane
A5 D5
when I spread my wings
G5 C5
to embrace him for life
A5
sucking out his love
D5
ah, I'll never be
G5 C5
nobody's wife
Now play PATTERN 1 twice, and an electric guitar plays
this little fill:
/ = slide b = bend r = release bend p = pull-off ~ = vibrato
E|--10/12-------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|---------------14b16r14p12----14-12----12~--|
D|---------------------------14-------14------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
VERSE 2: [play PATTERN 1 five times, then PATTERN 1B once]
--------
I'm sorry
for the times that I didn't come home
left you lying in that bed alone
flying high in the sky when you needed my shoulder
You're like a stone hanging round my neck, see
cut it loose before it breaks my back, see I
I've gotta say what I feel before I crow older
Sorry,
but I ain't gonna change my way
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my way
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
It's too bad
but hey, that's me
What goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry
the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time
that a man goes insane
when I spread my wings
to embrace him for life
I'm sucking out his love ah,
I'll never be
nobody's wife yeah
GUITAR-SOLO:
------------
Played over these chords: E5 C5 A5 G5 F#* [play four times]
It's like the first part of the chorus.
I don't transcribe solos, make up your own.
The best way to solo in Em is to use an E minor pentatonic
or E blues scale.
The E minor pentatonic scale goes like this:
E|-----------------------------------------12--15--|
B|---------------------------------12--15----------|
G|-------------------------12--14------------------|
D|-----------------12--14--------------------------|
A|---------12--14----------------------------------|
E|-12--15------------------------------------------|
Use the notes from this scale to make up your own solo.
CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
-------
It's too bad
but hey, that's me
What goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry
the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time, oh, no,
that a man goes insane
when I spread my wings
to embrace him for life
Sucking out his love,
I, I'll never be
nobody's wife yeah
OUTRO:
------
[chords for the outro are the same as the first part of
the chorus and the guitar solo: E5 C5 A5 G5 F#*. Play
those over and over again while singing this:]
I'll never be, never be, never gonna be,
never gonna be, never gonna be
nobody's wife
Nobody yeah, nobody yeah
no no...
[keep singing something like this and fade out...]
