Mind Eraser, No Chaser – Them Crooked Vultures
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Guinness O’Shea
Email: jdhype86@yahoo.com
Tuning: D (or E)
Noticed there weren’t any good guitar tabs for this one.
This is my first attempt at making any tabs whatsoever, so feedback is welcome.
I don’t own a working electric so I’m tabbing this according to how it best sounds on acoustic.
Personally, I like adding a little depth to my covers, so I tuned to D.
If you want to play in E, keep reading the tab. I include both ways.
I also don’t have the greatest patience so I’m not tabbing any of Josh’s fills/solos/etc.
Hope this helps!
INTRO:
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|
D|--xxxxxx--------------------|
A|--xxxxxx--------------------|
D|--xxxxxx--------------------|
VERSE (0:01)
e|----------------(0)--------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------4----------77777------------------------------------|
A|--3h43h4--------+5+---77777------------------------------------|
D|-------------4--------77777------------------------------------|
That open e is optional but sounds kinda cool with the A harmonic.
And by the way, if you dont want to tune to drop D, you don't have to:
VERSE (in E tuning)
e|----------------(0)--------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------4----------77777------------------------------------|
A|--3h43h4--------+5+---77777------------------------------------|
E|-------------2--------55555------------------------------------|
CHORUS A (0:40)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-4444-4444-4246-7642-7777-7777-7777-7666-----------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Right before CHORUS B do this: (1:00)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-4424-4444-4224-4444-7777-7777-7777-7777-----------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Sometimes they don't drop from A to Ab (7th fret to 6th fret) at the end of that little
Now here's why I like to tune to drop D.
PRE-CHORUS B (1:06)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---24---2----1----1----1----1----1---------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-44---22-2-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1--------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/them-crooked-vultures/206697.html ]
CHORUS B (1:10) Then it goes to this.
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---4----4----2----2----1----1----1----1----------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-44-4-44-4-22-2-22-2-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1---------------------------------|
Alternately, you can just do this:
PRE-CHORUS B (E-tuning)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---57---5----4----4----4----4--------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-44---22-2-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
CHORUS B (E tuning)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---7----7----5----5----4----4----4----4----------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-44-4-44-4-22-2-22-2-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1---------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I just like doing guitar and bass parts on my guitar.
So the second way might better suit you.
BRIDGE (2:07)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---5----5----5----5----5----5--5-4----5----5----5----5----5--------------|
G|-55-5-22-2------55-5-22-2-----------55-5-22-2------55-5-22-2-------------|
D|-----------44-4-----------44-4--4-4-----------44-4-----------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
TRANSISITION (PRE-CHORUS B) (2:37)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---57---5----4----4----4----4--------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-44---22-2-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And Here's the order:
INTRO
VERSE
CHORUS A
PRE-CHORUS B
CHORUS B
VERSE
CHORUS A
BRIDGE
PRECHORUS B
CHORUS B
VERSE
HORN PART
Like I said, I like added a little bit of bass to my guitar parts, but you should be
to play either way with this tab.
Good luck and have fun!
And in case you really wanted to...
HORN PART (staccato) x2
e|-----5-5------5----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-568----6-65----98-86-5-----56-65--5-----------5-------------------------|
G|-----------------------7--7-------7--75-4--45-7--------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------7-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I can't believe I actually tabbed that horn part.
