PLAY WITH ME - Extreme
From: johno@Deakin.Edu.Au (Matthew Johnson)
Somebody posted just the solo of this to another newsgroup about 3 years ago
but i've long since lost that and have worked out a bit of the rest of the song
would greatly appreciate it if anyone could make some additions.
Tuned down 1/2 step to Eb (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
Intro:

A-------------0-1-2-3-4-------------5---5----------------
E---0-1-2-3-4--------------------------------------------
(dive)
some sort of harmonic goes in the general area of those question marks
The following three riffs are used behind the verses.

E----------------------------------------3-2-0---x-------
I just hammer away on that C there (?) as I cannot reach what I think Nuno plays
e---5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5----------
b---5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5----------
g-------5^6-----5^6-----5^6-----5^6-----5^6-----5^6------
D--------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------
These runs are played just before the chorus.
e--------------------------------------3\2--3\2--3\2--3\2--3\2---------
b--------------------------------------3\2--3\2--3\2--3\2--3\2---------
g-------------------------------4-3-4--4\3--4\3--4\3--4\3--4\3---------
D------------------------5-4-5-----------------------------------------
A----------2-1-2--5-4-5------------------------------------------------
E---3-2-3--------------------------------------------------------------

b---------------------------------------8-7--8\7--8\7--8\7--8\7--8\7---
g-----------------------------4-3-4-7-6------7\6--7\6--7\6--7\6--7\6---
D-----------------------5-4-5------------------------------------------
A----------2-1-2--5-4-5------------------------------------------------
E---3-2-3--------------------------------------------------------------
Those last few notes in that run are played quite fast so I am not sure as to their exact order but just fiddle around and you'll soon get it.
The next three riffs are used behind the chorus.

Matthew Johnson.
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 EXTREME 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.
