Here's a song I tabbed I thought you might want to add to the archive.
-Ken.
"Shelter" by The Alarm
There are actually two guitars, one playing the chords, another playing the
lead riffs.
I believe the song is written in the key of A, if this helps.
Chords:
B5 x2440x
A x02220
D x00232
E 022100
For each riff, I just use the strings it uses to save a little space.
Riff 1:
E|---2---0------------------------
B|-0---0----0-3--0-2--0-0-0----0--
G|--------------------------2-2---
Riff 2:
E|-4-2-0-5--2-0---4-
B|--------------3---
Riff 3:
E|-4-5-7-7-5-7-7-4-5-
(Lyrics may not be exactly right, I'm writing from memory)
Intro: B5, play Riff 1, pause, play again (second time is actually slightly
different)
B5 (Riff 1 twice, no pause)

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 ALARM 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.
