Ok, then. I chose to tab this song out cause I liuke the little intro riff, and it's a
song all-in-all. So, without further ado, let's start.
Intro:
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------| x4
D|-----------8-5---------------------|
A|------8-10-------------8-10--------|
E|-xx10----------xxxx-10------8-3-xx-|
Verse:
The verse alternates between vocals and guitar. The vocals come first, followed by x1 of
intro. This happens twice.
Pre-Chorus:
e|------|
B|------|
G|------| x4
D|-5--8-|
A|-5--8-|
E|-3--6-|
Chorus:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------| x2
D|-8888888877766666-|
A|-8888888877766666-|
E|-6666666655544444-|
After Chorus Break:
Guitar 1:
e|----------|
B|----------|
G|----------| x4
D|-8-8-10---|
A|-8-8-10---|
E|-6-6-8----|
Guitar 2: (After guitar 1 has played the after chorus once, guitar 2 comes in. This is
of like the alternation between vocals and guitar in the verse.
e|-------|-1513----|-----------|--------|
B|-13b~--|-----13--|-----------|--------|
G|-------|---------|-12p11h12--|--------| Listen to the song to get the
D|-------|---------|-----------|-10\8b--| timing.
A|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
E|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
Repeat Verse
Repeat Pre-Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Repeat After-Chorus on both guitars, but instead of the fourth (last bar) on the second
repeat first bar on the second guitar.
Solo:
e|----------------------------------15~---------------------|
B|--------------------------------------11---13p11h13p11----|
G|-12~-----------------12~------------------------------12--|
D|--------------------------10------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------10---------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/k/kula-shaker/73835.html ]
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|-15-15-17---15-15-17--| Again, listen to the song and work out the timing.
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
Then the intro/verse is played again. Over it, there is a second guitar that goes:
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-12-12-----------12-12-10-9-12~--|
D|-------10-8----------------------|
A|------------10-------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
Repeat Chorus. There is also another guitar playing overthe chorus. You'll have to
to the song to figure out the timing.
e|-----------------------|-------------------------|
B|-----------------------|-------------------------|
G|-----------------------|-12b---------------------|
D|-----------------------|-----------10p8h10p8-----|
A|-10-13-15-13-10-15b-13-|------10-------------10--|
E|-----------------------|-------------------------|
Repeat After-Chorus with guitar 1. Meanwhile, guitar 2 plays this:
e|-15b--|-18A-----|-171717t-|---------|-181818t-|-----|-----|-15b--13h15b-|
B|------|----18---|---------|---------|---------|-----|-----|-------------|
G|------|------15-|---------|---------|---------|-----|-----|-------------|
D|------|---------|---------|---------|---------|-----|-----|-------------|
A|------|---------|---------|---------|---------|-----|-----|-------------|
E|------|---------|---------|-15\\2-3-|---------|-----|-----|-------------|
Now Guitar 1 plays:
e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|-----------------| x3
D|-----------------|
A|-10----------8-9-|
E|----8-9---10-----|
Then:
e|------------------------|
B|------------------------|
G|------------------------|
D|-10--8--5----11-10-8-5--|
A|-10--8--5----11-10-8-5--|
E|-8---6--3----9--8--6-3--|
Reapeat the riff guitar 1 played just a moment a go (10,8,9,10,8,9) (as it says, x3)
Now repeat the riff after that, but slower.
And that's it!
