"Drawing Down the Moon" by the Tea Party
tabbed by douG (Doug3780@aol.com)
This re-tabbing is my way of giving a little something back for
all the great tab I've taken from this site. Extra thanks goes to
Duncan Koerber for the version that he had tabbed out already.
Well, this is the scale that you should be soloing with, I think
it's called "B Blues":
|-----------------------------------------7--10--|
|----------------------------------7--10---------|
|------------------------7--9--10----------------|
|------------------7--9--------------------------|
|---------7--8--9--------------------------------|
|--7--10-----------------------------------------|
Use plenty of bends & slides & such, & you can make your own
solos, or figure out Jeff's, or a bit of both, like I do.
Here's the song...I 'll leave the timing for you to figure out by listening
to the song.
|--------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|-----7--6--7^(9)^7---6h7p6h9p6--|-----7--6--7^(9)--7p6\4/6\4--/9---|
|--------------------------------|-----------------------------/9---|
|--9-----------------------------|--9-------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|-----------------------|
|------------------7--8--7h8p7---8--|-----------------------|
|-----7--6--7--9-----------------9--|--8---9---11---9---8---|
|--------------------------------9--|-----------------------|
|--9-----------------------------7--|--6---7----9---7---6---|
|-----------------------------------|-----------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------/9------------------------|
|--7/9\7---6/7\6---4/6\4---/9---(insert solo here)---|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--5/7\5---4/5\4---2/4\2-----------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------0----------------------------|
|--------------------------10---8---0----------------------------|
|--------7--6--7--7/9--6---11---9---0----------------------------|
|--------------------------11---9---2-----------9--12--11~~~~~---|
|--9--9---------------------9---7---2----9--12-------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
now repeat all that with slight ad-libbing, & throw in the lyrics...
the rest was already tabbed in the first version, so now here's the ending:
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------9--12--11~~~----------9--12--11~~~----------9--12--11--|
|--9--12-----------------9--12-----------------9--12-------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------9\---|
|----------------------------------7\---|
|----------------------------------7\---| play this twice
|---------9--12--11---9--11--9-----9\---|
|--9--12--------------------------------|
|-------------------------------7-------|
|---------------------------------9-----7---7---7---7\---|
|---------------------------------7-----7---7---7---7\---|
|---------------------------------7----10--10--10--10\---|
|---------9--12--11--9--11--9-----9-----9---9---9---9\---|
|--9--12-------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------7-------------------------|

I can't really help you with the three songs that you don't have, but I
downloaded your tab of Drawing Down the Moon, and I think it's perfect,
except for one riff. The riff after the first verse, I think it sounds
better like something like this:
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------
D|------4-----5------4---4-5-4-----4-----5-----4---4-5-4---4-4-4-4---
A|--2-2---2-2----0-0---0-------------------2-2---2---------2-2-2-2---
D|-----------------------------5-5---5-5-----------------------------
Hope this helps a bit.

=====================================================================
"Drawing Down the Moon" by The Tea Party
from THE EDGES OF TWILIGHT, 1995.
Tab by Duncan Koerber (e0fqlagm@credit.erin.utoronto.ca)
I'm not good enough to play the really fast lead parts. So rather than
give you a guess, which would probably be very wrong, I'll leave that
portion of the song out (0:43 to 2:07 minutes). Anybody want to attempt
it?
I used the D major scale pattern when figuring this out. B minor
pentatonic scale pattern comes in handy on some occasions as well. You can
probably "fake" the part that's missing since it's mostly just a variation
on the intro, with really fast licks thrown in.

until you have felt the same
stay with me
