Kings of Convenience
Winning a Battle, Losing a War
tabbed by Bruno Gamba 30-03-2009
READ THIS, TUNING INFOS:
Well...long time that I don’t work on KOC tabs,and after that I saw a performance I
out the 100% exactly parts of both guitars.This is the record version correct. Eirik uses a
guitar with a strange tuning with the second string in “A” and not in “B”.
Erlend uses a standard tuning on both acoustic and electric parts.
Let’s start with Eirik main riff.
Eirik :Nylon Guitar (see tuning info).
Intro and Verse /Main theme : ("repeats" could be with slight differences trough the song).
REPEAT X3 THEN:
E||-----------0---------------0--------|---------0-------------0---------||
A||------8-------8--------------0------|-----8-----8-------------0-------||
G||*-------0-------0-----7-------------|-------0-----0----7--------------||
D||*----------0---------------0------0-|---------0-------------0---------||
A||-------------------8-----8------8---|---------------8-----8----------0||

-------0-----0----0------------|-------0-----0----0------------|
---------3-----------3---3-----|---------3-----------3---3-----|
---------------3---------------|---------------3---------------|

In this chord hold on fingers 2nd,3rd and move only the 4th.
X3 then:
E||-----------0---------------0--------|---------0-------------0---------||
A||------8-------8--------------0------|-----8-----8-------------0-------||
G||--------0-------0-----7-------------|-------0-----0----7--------------||
