Drop D (DADGBe)
The song starts off with bass and drums.
Paul plays a palm muted riff going into the first riff.
This is what he plays:
e-----x-------x-------x-|
B-----x-------x-------x-|
G-----x-------x-------x-|
D-0-0-x-0-0-0-x-0-0-0-x-|-3-5-3-1-3-0-|
A-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---|-3-5-3-1-3-0-|
D-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---|-3-5-3-1-3-0-|
. . ^ . . . ^ . . . ^ strike the strings above the nut.
^ palm mutes
RIFF A (Chorus Riff)
D-1-3-5--5-5-3-1--1-1-3-5--5-6-5-3-5-0-|
A-1-3-5--5-5-3-1--1-1-3-5--5-6-5-3-5-0-|
D-1-3-5--5-5-3-1--1-1-3-5--5-6-5-3-5-0-|
this is a tricky riff to play, this probably isn't correct either.
RIFF B
D-5*--------5*----5-6-6-|
A-5*--------5*----5-6-6-|
D-5*--------5*----5-6-6-|
. <- mute all strings after
you play the 2nd 6.
The first time Paul strums it
The second he hits the strings with his hand
The third he strums again going into the next riff:
RIFF C
D-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------|
D-5-5--5-5/10-10--10-10\3-3-3/8-8-7-|
^ slide up ^down ^up
THEN
D--------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------|
D-5-5--5-5/10-10--10-10\3-3-3/8-8-8-12-|
the last couple notes here are wrong, but I can't
figure them out...
RIFF A Again
D-8--8-8--8-10-10--10-10-6-6--6-5-3-1-3-0-|
A-8--8-8--8-10-10--10-10-6-6--6-5-3-1-3-0-|
D-8--8-8--8-10-10--10-10-6-6--6-5-3-1-3-0-|
This is played a couple times.
RIFF D
e--------------------|
B--------------------|
G--------------------|
D-5*----5-5-5-5-6-6_-|
A-5*----5-5-5-5-6-6_-|
D-5*----5-5-5-5-6-6_-|
Mute the strings after playing the second 6
Now play the chorus riff, on only the low D string
End with 5 instead of 0 and let it ring.
Listen to the song to get the right idea.
Then RIFF C
Chorus Riff A again
The heavy guitar solo is like this:
D-0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-|
A-0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-|
D-0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-|
. . . .
Mute the strings where the dots are
don't actually palm mute the notes
Then the chorus riff is played palm muted,
then open again as Jay begins singing
This next part I'm not totally sure on but here goes:
D-8-10-10--10-10-7-7--7-7-9-9--9-9-8-8-8-8-0-5-|
A-8-10-10--10-10-7-7--7-7-9-9--9-9-8-8-8-8-0-5-|
D-8-10-10--10-10-7-7--7-7-9-9--9-9-8-8-8-8-0-5-|
The timing on this riff is super tricky.
Not an easy song, but a good one.
I'm not sure how good this tab is,
so feel free to email me if you find any discrepencies
My email is at the beginning of the tab</PRE>
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 TALLMAN 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.
