Subject: Correction: TAB to "Surround" by dada
hi. i sent this in yesterday, but i made the mistake of saying that there
should be a capo on the first fret, when in fact my guitar was tuned down a
half step when i tabbed it. i edited the note about the capo out of the
file, and am re-submitting the correct version. if possible, could you
simply replace the old file with the corrected version? thanks.

Intro:
Riff 1 (x4)
Verse: (play Riff 2 over the verses)
There's a picture on my wall
A crack in the ceiling
Cigarette burns in my hall
I get the feeling
Chorus:
A(9) Riff 1
That you... surround me
A(9) Riff 1
That you... surround me
play Riff 2 twice then
Verse:
If I died a thousand times
My soul washed beside me
I will never be alone
You're always inside me
Chorus:
A(9) Riff 1
And you... surround me
A(9) Riff 1
And you... surround me
Chords under the solo:
E D(9) riff C A(9)
E D(9) riff C A(9)
E D(9) riff C A(9)
E D(9) riff C*
the "D(9) riff" denotes the fact that the fourth strum of the D(9)
is actually a D(4). If you listen to the recording carefully,
you can hear it.
the solo itself is very easy, done with a slide:
G ---3/9---3/9---3/9---3/9---11--12-------
Chorus:
A(9) Riff 1
You... surround me
A(9) Riff 1
And you... surround me
etc.
As the chorus is repeated over and over at the end, the repeating portion
A(9) Riff 1
is gradually replaced by the chords
A(9) C D(9)
Chords:
-------
A(9) 002200
E 022100
D(9) xx023x
D(4) xx0233
C x32010
C* x32013
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.
