"Freaks" by +Live+
from the album Scret Samadhi
tab by Andy Adelewitz (ada108@psu.edu)
I tabbed this in standard tuning instead of down a half step, as they play
it. It's just as easy either way. If you tune down a half step, just move
all the tab up a fret to play along with the album.
Verse riff:
G#5 E5 D#m G#5 E5 D#m E5
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-----9-------------7--------------9----------------------------|
G-|---8---8-----9-------6----------8---8-----9----------------9---|
D-|-6---------9------------------6---------9--------x3-then---9---|
A-|---------7-----6----------------------7-----6--------------7---|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Will you ...
D#5
E-|-----|
B-|-----|
G-|--8--|
D-|--8--|
A-|--6--|
E-|-----|
Just repeat this chord over and over the first time, then go back into verse.
The second time and all after it, follow it with:
Or will...
G#5 Bb5 D#5
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------8-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-|-6---6-6-8-8---8-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-|-6---6-6-8-8---6-----------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-4---4-4-6-6---------------------------------------------------------------|
The last riff has three chords:
G5 G#5 C#5
E-|---------------|
B-|---------------|
G-|-----------6---|
D-|--5---6----6---|
A-|--5---6----4---|
E-|--3---4--------|
Play like so:
G5 G#5 C#5
You ..
G5 G#5 C#5
To ..
G5 G#5 C#5
You ..
G5 G#5
To ..
The little guitar lick behind what comea after that part:
1/2 step bend and release

That's pretty much all the pieces to this "freaky" song;
just listen to the CD and put it together; it shouldn't be too hard.
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 LIVE 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.
