Broadway - The Goo Goo Dolls
The Goo Goo Dolls are known for their very strange tunings.
One of the most common ones is to raise the B string to a C.
This tuning is very similar... only 1/2 step
down from that. Thus the tuning is:
E-A-D-G-B-e ----> Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Cb-eb
Here are the corresponding chords:
C- x32000
Am7- x02000
Fmaj- 134200
Fmaj2- 134000
F5- 134xxx
G- 3x0000
Am/D- xx0200
Am- x02200

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 GOO GOO DOLLS 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.
