If your guitar won't do drop tunings like this one very well, you can just stay in
and tune up your A string to be a B.
A tuning that also works is D standard but the A string stays the same.
I'm a classical guitarist that likes to play pop music so...this is a really hard tab.
the basics of the verse:
-9------9--------10--------9----9------|
---7--7---7--7------10---7----7----7---|
---9--9---9--9---------9------9----9---|
---7--7---7--7-------------7-----------|
--------0------0-----------------------|
-10----------------------0-------------|
A variation on rhythm that's thrown around a lot:
----9---9-----9---9----|
------7---7-----7---7--|
------9---9-----9---9--|
------7---7-----7---7--|
------------0----------|
-10--------------------|
this next part is a good transition back to the beginning of the verse lick:
ie: and I..
raved
---10-10--9-9--7-7--2-2--|
--------------------0-0--|
---7--7---6-6--4-4--2-2--|
---7--7---7-7--5-5-------|
-0------------------0----|
-------------------------|
the basics of the pre chorus and chorus: .
here's where i get sorta nuts...the interlude into the next chorus
{x} indicate left hand harmonics
x[x] indicate left hand fret, [right hand harmonics]
ie: 4[16] is fretted at the 4th, and plucked at the 16th with the right. open right hand
have no beginning number.
Basically just play the chord and then the harmonic part.
If i were to call these 6 different measures you would play them in this order: measure
measure 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 2, 6
Should we go out side...

this part is very difficult. left hand bar the 5th with pinky, right hand index on 17, m
a are plucking.
notice the second half change to left hand harmonics.

play the verse, prechorus, and chorus all over and then end with:

Some of these chords seem insane, well...they are. like the beginning chord up to the 10
all played as one chord. And on the 9 9 9 9 16...I sustain the 9's and really stretch
hit 16.
have fun!
