The Hives - Tick Tick Boom "The Black and White Album"
Tabbed by PeteTLT.
All the tabs I've found are very close but this is the way I play it (and it looks like
do too in the live video).
Verse (intro):
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|--------9-7-7-7|
D|--7-9-9-9-7-7-7|
A|--7-9-9-7-5-5-5|
E|--5-7-7--------|
During the "Yeah"s and most of the vocal part of the verse, either only have one of two
playing or palm mute.
Chorus:
First time he starts the Chorus and then goes back into the song its played like this:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/h/hives/245896.html ]
e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|---9----12----7------------|
D|---9----12----7----7----5--|
A|---7----10----5----7----5--|
E|-------------------5----3--|
Then the full Chorus is played like this
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|---9----12----7----------------------|
D|---9(x8)-12(x8)-7(x8)-7-------5------|
A|---7----10----5----7(x8)----5(x8)----|
E|-------------------5-------3---------|
For the "BOOM" part, its most likely played by strumming completely open. It also sounds
either one or both of the guitarist hits there guitar in the neck or on the body.
Bridge:
e|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|-------------------|
D|-99999999----------|
A|-99999999-(x10)----|
E|-77777777----------|
P.M. . . . . . . . .
Enjoy.
