Tab: The Magic Hour
By dEUS
Tabbed by Thomas Callens aka Tommy Hendrix
29-06-99
dEUS is a Belgian band from Antwerp (this is where I'm from too)
that is becoming quite famous now thanks to their new album:
"The Ideal Crash", which I partially cotabbed with a guy named=20
"Apeman" (no he's not a loonatic).
"The Magic Hour" is the 4th song on that album.
This is one of the first times I trie to tab a complete song. Usually
I search the tab on the net, but for dEUS y'all won't find anything, so =
here it is.
First of all, you've got to tune down the lowest string 2 steps down
(=AEfrom E to D).
I won't put no lyrics in my tab, so to situe a riff, just look at the =
time indications I'll be givin'.
*0:00>0:32 intro
=20

e----3-2-0---------------------3-2-0------------------------------

This might not be totally correct, it's very difficult to hear because =
there are 2 guitars playing different things and I think they're using =
E-bows or some other stuff.
Anyway, play this riff twice during the intro and twice during each =
verse.
*0:33>1:04 verse1
Play riff1 twice
*1:05>1:15 chorus
riff2
e----0-2---7-------7----7-----
B--3-----3---7-5-7------8-----
G--------------------7--7-----
Be careful: this sounds like it, but it's not totally correct!!!?!
Once again, this is a very hard song to tab.
Play this thingie twice during the "Godawful I adore you" part.
*1:16>1:47 verse2
Same as verse1, except there's a violin who comes in now.
*1:48>2:03 chorus
Play riff2 twice
*2:04>2:35
Here's a little intermezzo. Don't forget yer lowest string should be=20
tuned to D!!
D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
A--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-

D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---
*2:36>2:46
This is the end of the intermezzo and I really have no fuckin' idea
what this is all about.
*2:47>3:18 verse3
Same as verses 1&2, except on this one there's one guitar more who=20
plays a little pizzicato riff that goes this way:
e----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2---
B--0-----3-0-----3-0-----3-0-----3-------3-------3-------3-------3-
G----------------------------------2-------2-------2-------2-------
*3:19>3:37 chorus
Play riff2 twice
*3:38>3:54
The aspect of the song changes completelly now; no guitars or drum=20
or bass anymore for a while and a heavy contrabas comes in.
*3:55>4:11
A guitar comes back in, but with bass tones.
riff3
e------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------2-----2-----
D--------------------------------------0-----0---------------------
A------2-----2-----3-3-----2-2-------------------------------------
D--2-2---2-2---2-2-----2-2-----2-2-4-4---4-4---4-4-0-0---0-0---0-0-
Play this twice.
*4:12>4:18
Another new riff makes its appearance.
riff4
e--3-0--3-3-0--3--2-----------2-0---
B-----------------3---3---4---------
G-----------------2-----2---2-------
Play this once.
*4:19>4:26
Play riff3 and riff4 together once (for those of you to whom
Mother Nature hasn't been very kind, I mean y'all have to play
them two riffs with TWO guitars).
*4:27>4:58
I haven't figured out this part yet.
*4:59>5:21
Play riff4 another two times, and the song finishes at 5:21.
Well, that's all folks!!
I hope my tab was clear enough and I wish y'all still many hours of
guitarfun!

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 DEUS 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.
