"Independently Happy (Acoustic)" by Blue October (Transcription by AggiePhil--phil@phildorsett.com) http://www.phildorsett.com/sounds.html Notes: � A few things about this tab. First of all, this is an acoustic compilation tab, meaning that I tried to combine multiple elements from the actual song into a single guitar part. So there are some elements of the violin part, the bass guitar part, and the lead guitar part. Next, I don't know if this would work on a guitar with all six strings, so keep that in mind. Although all the fingerings show the high e string as muted, I doubt it'd be possible to actually mute it with your fingers. I just don't have that string at all (nor does Justin of Blue October). With that having been said, here's the piece... Intro & Verses ("I feel that it's hard enough to say goodbye...") (Strum; basically finger G6 (320000) and briefly throw in A notes with your index finger the g string at fret 2 to match the violin; accent all strums with this A note in them) e|---------------------------------------x---x---------------------------------------x-----------------------------------------------| b|---------------------------------------0---0---------------------------------------1-----------------------------------------------| g|---------------------------------------2---0---------------------------------------0-----------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------0---0---------------------------------------2-----------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------2---2---------------------------------------3-----------------------------------------------| E|-------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---3---------------------------------------x-----------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------Gadd9--G6----switch b/w Gadd9 & G6 back to switching b/w Gadd9 & G6--------| Chorus ("I said I'm finally...happy!")
