Verses:
There are two different guitar effects used in the verses.
The first is created by using a delay with some overdrive
and hitting this chord:
|-----3------|
|-----3------|
|-----3------|
|-----3------|
|------------|
|------------|
The second effect is created by using a whammy pedal,overdrive
and delay to create spacey sound effects by hitting notes,
swelling them up with the volume knob(on the guitar) and bending
them up or down with the whammy pedal....Just be creative in this
area.
Second Chorus:Same as the first except you play with the first
line of the chorus with this: We--
Don't get down Like we used to we used to be To-
|-0--------0-X-------0-------0-X----------0----0----0---|

Repeat and Fade
Enjoy!!!!
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 FATHEAD 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.
