Travis: More Than Us
this is such a great song. There are two main guitars in it, acoustic and electric
but you can fake it if you're on your own with an acoustic.
The chords are the same as posted before but instead of just strumming them
Fran plays these notes over most of the C chords. Don't play them
exclusively but emphisise them when struming by lifting your middle finger.
Over the C chords:
E -------------------------0----
B --------------1----------1----
G --------0--2-----2--0----0----
D --0--2-----------------2------
A ------------------------------
E ------------------------------
the last bit is on the upstroke real quick
You can hear these being played at the end of some of the C chords:
E --0---
B -----1
G ------
D ------
A ------
E ------
And a little faster at the end of some of the G7's:
E --1---
B -----0
G ------
D ------
A ------
E ------
This is played shortly after the Dm's:
E --8--5
B ------
G ------
D ------
A ------
E ------
This is played on the electric over the C in the Bridge:
E ------------------------------------------------
B --------------1---------------------------------
G --------0--2-----2--0-----------0---------------
D --0--2-----------------2--0--2-----2--0--2--0---
A -----------------------------------------------3
E ------------------------------------------------
Finally this is played over the Am chord:
E --0------------
B --1------------
G --2------------
D --2--------1/2-
A --0--2--3------
E ---------------

Another little trick you can do is lift you middle finger on and off the third
string on the F chords in the Verse while you strum to make it sound even cooler.
Make sure you pull off from the second fret to open though, but start the
hammer-ons from open.
And although it doesn't happen in the song, when you play the G7 in the bridge I
think it sounds good to pull your index finger off the G7 when Fran sings the
first "Hey" and put it back on when he sings the second. But thats just me :)

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 TRAVIS 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.
