First time tabbing but I have studied how he plays this live several times and
this is officially it!
DROP B TUNING
DD-3 Pedal 50 delay time everything else 12 o'clock (volume up all the way)
A POG to lower octave like a bass
Intro (Played throughout song as well)
C# ----888---8----888---888-|
G# -----------6-------------|
E -------------------------|
B -------------------------|
F# -4b-----8----------8-----|
B -------------8-----------|
(Later in the song he bails on the last 3 notes take a listen)
Also on that 4b...he bends it to make it sound like a 5 but you can just play a 5 if its
too much for your fingers (beginner tip)
This is the verse part (fixed it from what I originally had)
Note : he throws in mute notes every once and a while during the pauses
C# --------------------------------------|
G# --------------------------------------|
E --------------------------------------|
B --------------------------------------|
F# --------------------------------------|
B -12--------15----12----15----15-17-12-|
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-kills/277212.html ]
During the bridge "Theres a time for second best..."
(Listen for the tempo cause im only putting it as one note each but its a rapid down
stroke with the thumb until the switch) Sounds like some tremolo mixed with a second POG
organ sound.
C# ------------------------|
G# ------------------------|
E ------------------------|
B ------------------------|
F# -5----8---------3-------|
B -----------8------------|
(repeat)
C# ------------------------------------------|
G# ------------------------------------------|
E -7--7-5-7--7-5-10--10-12-14-10-5-14-13-12-|
B ------------------------------------------|
F# -5555555555555-888888-10-12-8--3-12-10-10-|
B ------------------------------------------|
Goes back to Intro
Ending
C# -------------------------|
G# -------------------------|
E -------------------------|
B -------------------------|
F# -4b-4b-4b-4b-4b-4b-4b-4--|b
B -------------------------|
(repeat while drums are going)
Alternate way to do this is to hit the low B string on the 12th fret
Thats it! Its a fun song to learn
