Ask Me
The Kooks
This is an interesting one. It's off of the "B-Sides & Demos" album.
The tuning is "open-D" and there is a capo on the 2nd fret (making
it open-E). Listen to the song and play along to master it! The intro is
a bit difficult to hear so just play what is shone, but at some open top
strings in there once in a while. I'll leave it up to you how you'd like to
throw in the hammer-ons/pull-offs too.
Intro:
d|-7--4--5--2--2/4--5--2--0-------| |-0-2-(0)-0--------|
A|-------------------------0------| |------4-(0)-2/4---|
F#|-------------------------0-----| x2 then: |------------------|
D|---------------------------0----| |------------------|
A|----------------------------0---| |------------------|
D|-----------------------------0--| |------------------|
Verse:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-kooks/178488.html ]
d|--5----5---0----0----|
A|--5----5---0----0----|
F#|-5--6p5---0--1p0----|
D|--5----5---0----0----|
A|--5--7p5---0--2p0----|
D|--5----5---0----0----|
First riff going into second verse:
D|--0-2-4-0-| then go back into the verse then,
play this riff: D|--5-4-2-0-| now go into the chorus!
Chorus:
d|-----5--7----7--5---5-7-4-2---|
A|-----5--7----7--5---5-5-0-0---|
F#|-3--5--7----7--5-------------|
D|--4--5--7----7--5-------------|
A|--2--5--9--9p7--7-------------|
D|-(0)--------------------------|
Now play the second half of the intro.
Third Verse:
d|--5----5--5-7-4-2--0----0---|
A|--5----5--5-5-0-0--0----0---|
F#|-5--6p5-----------0--1p0---|
D|--5----5-----------0----0---|
A|--5--7p5-----------0--2p0---|
D|--5----5-----------0----0---|
Repeat riff, and then chorus.
Play a few open pull offs.
Play the first part of the intro.
/ = slide up
p = pull-off
() = hard to decipher whether or not it's played.
