Tabbed by: Eric Dorcey
Email: hsxeric@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard E
My favorite song by LBC.
Hasn't been tabbed yet, so I listened to it and figured it out.
Pretty dang easy.
One thing:
Didn't feel like taking the time to figure out the intro part.
So either figure it out yourself or pick the chords on your clean channel.
HERE WE GO!
Main:
(Gtr 1) - you can figure out the strumming pattern
e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|--7-6-7----11-9--|
D|--x-x-x-----x-x--| 2x
A|--5-4-5-----9-7--|
E|-----------------|
(Gtr 2) - you can figure out the strumming pattern
e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|--7-----4--2---------------------7-----------|
D|--7--5--4--2---OR YOU CAN PLAY---7--5--9--7--| 2x
A|--5--5--2--0-----IT LIKE THIS----5--5--9--7--|
E|-----3------------------------------3--7--5--|
Verse:
(Gtr 1)
e|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|--7--------------------------------------------|
D|--7---strum this once and hold it for 4 bars---|
A|--5---then strum it again, holding for 2 bars--|
E|-----------------------------------------------|
then come back in on the "changing for the worse" part with this:
e|-----------|
B|-----------|
G|--4--2-----|
D|--4--2--5--|
A|--2--0--5--|
E|--------3--|
(Gtr 2) VERY light distortion, very light strumming
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--7-----4-----7------------------------------------------------------|
D|--7--5--4--5--7--5---then come in @ the same time as gtr 1 with the--|
A|--5--5--2--5--5--5----same part during "changing for the worse"------|
E|-----3-----3-----3---------------------------------------------------|
Pre-chorus:
(Both gtrs) "Another episode..."
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|--4--2------4--2--------4--2-----2--|
D|--4--2--5---4--2--4--5--4--2--5--2--|
A|--2--0--5---2--0--4--5--2--0--5--0--|
E|--------3---------2--3--------3-----|
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/l/lucky-boys-confusion/195463.html ]
Chorus:
(Both gtrs) "Here's to you..." - again, you can figure out the strumming
e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|--7---------7--------2---7--------4--2--|
D|--7--2--5---7--2--5--2---7--2--5--4--2--|
A|--5--2--5---5--2--5--0---5--2--5--2--0--|
E|-----0--3------0--3---------0--3--------|
Not sure if they do this live.
I can hear a guitar faintly in the background play this during the chorus:
e|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|--777--99--7--|
D|--xxx--xx--x--|
A|--555--77--5--|
E|--------------|
Main riff again. Then verse again.
However, during the second half of the verse, gtr 1 doesn't do the same strum and hold
the D chord (577).
During this, you do a distorted palm-mute of that chord (listen to hear the pattern)
you get to the "changing for the worse" part.
Gtr 1 does this palm-muted part too during the second half of the verse.
During the first half, it doesn't play anything (cept for some feedback).
Pre-chorus again, then chorus again.
Interlude:
(Gtr 1) "In me..."
e|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|----------------------2--|
D|--5~----------------x-2--| 4x
A|--5~-(let ring out)-x-0--|
E|--3~----------------x----|
(Gtr 2)
after gtr 1 hits the G chord (355)
e|-----------|
B|-----------|
G|--6h7------| 4x
D|-------7~--|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
Bridge:
(Gtr 1)
e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|------------------------------|
D|----77------------44-----22---| 8x
A|--55--5----55---22--2--00--0--|
E|---------33--3----------------|
(Gtr 2)
Strum D chord once (577 on strings A, D, G) and hold it for 8 bars (gtr 1 part played 2x).
Then quickly slide down to nowhere and mute the strings for 7 more bars.
Then play this:
e|------------5-----------------------5----5----5----5------|
B|-------5-----------5----7------5--------------------------|
G|--6/7~---77---777~---77---777~---77---77---77---77---777--|
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|
Both guitars pick scrape down!!!
Back into pre-chorus, then chorus, then interlude.
END!!!
P.S. Not sure which guitarist plays which parts.
Might have gotten some mixed up, but they're all there, and I'm pretty sure they are correct.
Not 100%, but they sound near perfect to me.
If you find corrections, let me know! Thanks.
