All I Am
--------
by dada From the album "American Highway Flower"
Transcribed by Jeff Matson (jdm7@cornell.edu)
as far as i can tell, this song is based almost exclusively around a simple
riff and a nice, easy picking pattern for the chorus. because i'm feeling
really lazy, i'm only going to provide these two parts, and let you folks
out there figure out what goes where in the song. if you have the album,
it's really easy to do anyway.
Verse Chords
the key to this part is to alternate a Bm with a plain ol' second-fret
barre (222222) and then end with a G (355433)
Bm Bm (222222) Bm Bm (222222) Bm Bm (222222) G G
Chorus Picking
okay, now that you've mastered that part, here is my rough idea of the picking
that goes on in the chorus.
e -------0------------0------------0------------0---------
B ---3-----3------3-----3------3-----3------3-----3-------
G -----2-----2--0---0-----0--1---1-----1--0---0-----0-----
D -0------------------------------------------------------
^^^^^^^^^^^^
in some repetitions of the chorus
picking this part is omitted and a
G chord is struck, usually to lead
back into the verse chords.
As far as I can tell, the really fast parts are the same as the verse chords,
only faster and choppier.
if anyone feels like cleaning up or adding to this, please feel free.
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 DADA 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.
