This song is pretty easy to play. The intro goes something like this....
e ---------8-8--------------------------------------------------------
B ---5-8-5-5-5-5-5-8-5------------------------------------------------
G ---6-6-6-6---6-6-6-6--REPEAT X4 W/CLEAN TONE------------------------
D ---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7------------------------------------------------
A ---0-0-0-0---0-----0------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------------
The next part with the drums and bass is the same except distorted.The
verse is also the same with this riff at the end of each block...
e --------------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------------
G --4-4-x-x-x-x-7-7---------------------------------------------------
D --4-4-x-x-x-x-7-7---------------------------------------------------
A --2-2-x-x-x-x-5-5---------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------------
Just listen to the tune to figure which bit goes where. Next is the
chorus. I`m not too sure about this but it`s pretty much right I think.....
e --------------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------10-10-9-----9-9-9-/13-13-13-----------------------------
D --7-7-7--10-10-10-9-----9-9-9-/13-13-13-----------------------------
A --7-7-7--10-8--8--7-----7-7-7-/11-11-11-----------------------------
E --5-5-5--8--------0-----0-0-0---------------------------------------
You`ll have to listen fo the strum. I think the 11 power chord is
wrong but I`m not sure.
The bassline basically follows the power chords but in the verse it goes.....
E ---/555555-/555555-/555555-/555555----
I`m not sure about the amount of times the A is played but you can
listen for that. The verse is exactly the same as the root note of
the power chords. For the July She lied... bit I play the notes from
the chorus in the same order but different time and omit the high G#.
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 EVERCLEAR 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.
