(ok, its a link to a last.fm page,
but it gives the label Julian is/was
signed to at the bottom,and its the closest
thing to an official website I can find.)-http://www.last.fm/music/julian+nation
Alright, so this song is short (1:24) and sweet.
There are lyrics, but I am lazy, nobody is going to
look at this tab, and the lyrics are not online.
So you, nonexistent reader, don't get lyrics.
There are 4 different "riffs" in the song, the first three
which are played on the piano, and the last which is played
on the guitar. There is a guitar playing broken chords
behind the riffs, and I put the chord names on top of
the riffs.
The riffs are played like this; riff 1
is played with riff 2 throughout most of the song,
but at the end of the first verse (type thing),
it switches and after riff 1, riff 3 is played.
Then riffs 1 and 2 continue doing their thing,
until the very end, where riff 4 is played once.
I hope that explanation wasn't too confusing.
It really is a simple song. Oh and there is
another instrument (besides guitar and piano),
a glockenspiel I think, which plays in the
background. But its kind of high, and I don't
know if it can be played on the guitar,
so I left it out. The song sounds nice
this way anyhow. So enjoy.
Riff 1
