Blame, Etc.
by The Afghan Whigs
from the album Black Love
Tab by: R. Flahive
This is a really great song, and it's not too hard to play. Use a wah.
Listen to the cd to get the wah effects down.
Intro: A---2---0h2-0h2--0-----0h2-0----------------------
E-----------------------------3--2--0--0-2-3-2-0-- x4
D5\B5
Follow this pattern during the verse:
(B5) x x x | x x x A5|B5 x x x | x x x D5\|B5...
1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1...etc.
Use the wah with the mutes. Follow the guitar pattern on
the cd or come up with your own funky rythyms.
VERSE 1:
D5 B5
My lust it ties me up in chains
A5 B5
My skin catches fire at the mention of your name
D5 B5
No matter what I tried 2 do
A5 B5
I could not lose it
D5 B5
Now I know my heart is being used
A5 B5
But what I'm not allowed to have I never could refuse
D5 B5
No matter what I tried 2 do
A5 B5
I stood accused
INTERLUDE:
F C Bm
I..... reply..... that I don't believe
A F C
I'm ever gonna die..... I don't
D
Do u?
CHORUS:
Bm A G A
Blame, deny, betray, divide
Bm A G A
A lie, the truth, which one shall I use?
Bm A
Whatcha gonna do? I know
G A
Whatcha gonna do? I know, I know, I know
(note: 1st guitar solos over the chorus. 2nd sticks to the chords.)
VERSE 2 (same as verse 1):
Your sanctimony is showing my dear
The acrimony hangs in the air
Beware of who u trust in this world
Beware the lies about 2 unfurl
INTERLUDE (same as above, repeated twice):
I..... reply..... that I don't believe
I'm ever gonna die..... I don't
Do u?
U..... were blind..... but u are not
Alone in this as I..... was once
Like u
CHORUS (same as before): Blame, etc.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official AFGHAN WHIGS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
