This is a tab for Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros. I've figured it out by myself with piano and
with guitar.
Tuning: Standard. (In original Hoppipolla the piano has an unoriginal tuning. Use a capo
first fret if you wish to have same pitch.)
INTRO:
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-|
G|-----3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3---|
D|-0-3-----0-3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-----|
A|-----------------3-------3-------1-------1-------3-------3-------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
MAIN MELODY (right after intro and continues until chorus):
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------1-------3-------3-4-3-----------3-4-3-----------1-|
G|-----3-------3-------3--3----3-------3--3----3-------3---|
D|-0-3-----1-3-----1-3-----------3-1-3-----------3-1-3-----|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/w/we-are-scientists/73222.html ]
E|---------------------------------|
B|-------1-------3-4-3-----------1-|
G|-----3-------3--3----3-------3---|
D|---3-------3-----------3-1-3-----|
A|-3-------3-----------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
Its pretty much a steady flow exept the fast high part. You'll learn best by listening
the song and comparing it to your playing.
Chorus (same as intro):
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-|
G|-----3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3---|
D|-0-3-----0-3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-----|
A|-----------------3-------3-------1-------1-------3-------3-------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Tunnel after chorus(followed by main melody again):
E|-------------------------|
B|-------1-------1-------1-|
G|-----3-------3-------3---| Main melody starts here. (x2)
D|-0-3-----1-3-----1-3-----|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
Og ég fć blóđnasir En ég stend alltaf upp
Timing is improtant here. Tunnel starts exatcly when he sings "blóđnasir" and main
starts when he sings "alltaf". Again helps if you listen to the song.
After the main melody has been played twice tunnel starts again with same timing. After
the main melody plays until the end of the song.
