Glass Fields
by: Idiot Pilot
tabbed by: Ace Electric
An acoustic track by Idiot Pilot, off of the "A Silent Film" EP.
Tuning: D A D G B E (Drop D)
The strumming pattern should be easy enough to figure out from the song.
Picking patterns noted where needed.
Intro
This intro can either be played as one guitar, or with two guitars (the original
is two guitars
layered over each other; one providing more of a rhythmic part, and the other providing
low end of
all the chords).

B---7---7---12---7-|
G---7---7---12---7-|
D---0---5---10---5-|
A---x---x---x----x-|
D---x---x---x----x-|
Intro 2, Verse (the same as one, but now the chord is complete, giving a fuller sound)
E---5---5---10---5-|
B---7---7---12---7-|
G---7---7---12---7-|
D---x---5---10---5-|

(and then this chord, for the transition at 'you're headed back to shore')
E---x---|
B---x---|
G---12--|
D---12--|

My interpretation:

D----0-7-----7--------7-----7----7----7----7-|
A--------------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------|
G-----------7----7-----7-------------7----7----7----|
D--------9----9----9-----9--------7----7----7----7--|
A-----9---------9----9-----9------------------------|
D--9-------------------------9--5-------------------| ("We're all trying to reach
higher ground...")
E-------------------------------x----5------|
B--------7----7---7-------------x----5------|
G----------7----7---7---7-------12---7------|
D----0-7-----7--------7---------12---7------|
A-------------------------------11---5------|
D--0----------------------11-11-11---5------| ("Any way you turn, you're headed back to shore.")
Background harmonics on:
19th fret, B, G, and D string
And then 12 fret, G string, and back to the 19th on the B, G, and D string
You can vary it up as you see fit (I don't know the actual part)
