This is a very fun song to play, and it's not hard at all.
It's also my first tab, so rate it and let me know
if there's anything that needs improvement,
but I'm pretty sure that this is close to being
completely correct.
Intro/Verse:
e|--3---------3-------3-----0---3-------------------------------------------|
B|--3---------3-------3-----3---3-------------------------------------------|
G|--0---------0-------0-----------------------------------------------------|
D|--0---------2-------0-----------------------------------------------------|
A|--2---0h2h3-3---3/5-5---------0-------------------------------------------|
E|--3---------0-----------0-2-0-3-------------------------------------------|
For the last part above: I sort of flick the e
and B strings with my ring finger. If you don't
like the way it sounds like that, then it still
sounds fine if you play it on only the E string
as shown below. Or you could hammer on the 2nd
and 3rd fret of the E string, and strum the e and
B.
Here's another way to play the intro/verses that, in my opinion,
sounds the same but is a little bit easier in some parts:
e|--3---------3-------3-----------------------------------------------------|
B|--3---------3-------3-----------------------------------------------------|
G|--0---------0-------0-----------------------------------------------------|
D|--0---------2-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--2---0h2h3-3---3/5-----------0-------------------------------------------|
E|--3---------0-----------0-2-0-3-------------------------------------------|
Play this for all verses, up to the Pre-Chorus
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-maine/177590.html ]
This is the 2nd guitar in the backgroud, not sure if its 100%
correct but it sounds fine. Repeat this 2 times in the intro and
one time after the first chorus:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-0---------------------------0--------------------------------------------|
G|----7-7/9-----------------------7-7/9-------------------------------------|
D|-----------7--5-5/7-5-7-9--------------7--5/7\5-0-------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Pre-Chorus:
e|--3----3----3----3~-------------------------------------------------------|
B|--3----3----3----3~-------------------------------------------------------|
G|--0----0----0----0~-------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0----2----0----2~-------------------------------------------------------|
A|--2----3----2----3~-------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3----0----3----0~-------------------------------------------------------|
Let the last C chord ring, and listen to the song to
figure out the other strumming for the part before it
because it would take me forever to tab it. Sorry :]
Chorus:
e|--3----3----3----3-----------------3---3~---------------------------------|
B|--3----3----3----3-----------------3---3~---------------------------------|
G|--0----0----0----0---X2--THEN------0---0~---------------------------------|
D|--0----2----2----2-------END-------2---2~---------------------------------|
A|--2----3----2----3-------CHORUS----2---3~---------------------------------|
E|--3----0----0----0-------LIKE:-----0---0~---------------------------------|
Same thing with the chorus, listen
to the song to get the strumming,
and let the last C chord ring.
And that's the whole song, just repeat the intro one
more time, then the second verse, then the chorus.
I hope all the writing in between isn't too confusing,
if it is, or there is a part of the song your
confused about, or there's a part you disagree with,
E-mail me, tell me in a comment, or talk with me on
