2000 Miles
The Pretenders
(1983)
(This whole song should be played on a Rickenbacker 12-string or per
"The Isle of View" on an acoustic 12-string! -- LM)
The intro lick, that also continues through most of the song,
goes like this:
e|---------2-3-|-0-------2-3-|
b|-3-----------|---3---------|
G|---0---------|-----2-------|
D|-----0-------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
Try this instead -- let the bass notes ring. Note that the timing is
triplets:
t t t t t t t t t t t t
e|--------2-3-0-------2-3-|
4 b|3-------------3---------|
- G|--0-------------0-------|
4 D|----0-------------------|
A|------------3-----0-----|
E|3-----3-----------------|
Then right before the first verse:
e|-------------|
b|-3p1-0-------|
G|-------2-0---|
D|-----------4-|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|

In these frozen silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow
Sparkle
Our hearts were singing

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 PRETENDERS 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.
