------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Singing Joy to the World � Fruit Bats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Nick Kruschke Email: krusc005@gmail.com Tuning: Standard (unless you can�t belt it like Eric then tune the whole guitar down a bit) I tabbed this out for use on my ukulele so the fills are pretty hard to transpose but hopefully this can give your wonderful mind a template to work from. This is one of my favourite FB�s songs so please feel free to send me comments on revision. He plays small hammer ons and pull offs throughout the song listen and play along to nail them. The rhythms also tricky in spots. Notables: Barring with the index finger for Bm then hammering on the rest of your fingers. Bm e|-2-2---| B|-2h3---| G|-2h4---| D|-2h4---| A|-2-2---| E|-------| (C#m Cm Bm) This is played fairly fast. {Crazy Fill} I have no idea about this so good luck. Slidey (tough because he plays this while strumming the chord) F#m B e|-2-----2-| B|-2-----4-| G|-2-----4-| D|-4/6\2-4-| A|-4-----2-| E|-2-------| Riff (It helps to barre A with your index finger) e|--------------------------------------0------ |---| B|-----2--2-----------------------------2------ |-2-| G|-2---2--2h4p2----2--------2-----------2------ |-2-| D|-2h4----------4--2h4p2----2h4p2-------2------ |-2-| A|-----------------------5--------5-----4------ |---| E|--------------------------------------------- |---| (A/C#) ( Chords Used ) A Asus Bm E E6 D F#m C#m Cm B e--0--|--0--|--2--|--0--|--0--| |--2--|--2--|--4--|--3--|--2--| B--2--|--3--|--3--|--0--|--2--| |--3--|--2--|--5--|--4--|--4--| G--2--|--2--|--4--|--1--|--1--| |--2--|--2--|--6--|--5--|--4--| D--2--|--2--|--4--|--2--|--2--| |--0--|--4--|--6--|--5--|--4--| A--0--|--0--|--2--|--2--|--2--| |-----|--4--|--4--|--3--|--2--| E-----|-----|-----|--0--|--0--| |-----|--2--|-----|-----|-----| Song: ______________________________________________________________________________________ I. We---ll he got A Bm Lonely every time a canteen of lights came up D [A - Asus - A] On the Indian Casino Queen Cus he�d loved her from the time she�d been the Bm D E-E6-E waitress at the Mexican place where he�d left his keys Bm A She�d been there smile�n at the lost and found D F#m C#m (C#m Cm Bm) Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin� at the fairgrounds Bm [A-Asus-A] Holdin� hands singin �Joy to the World� A Bm D She was way too young A Bm F#m {Slidey} But he did not care B D He was alright with cashin� in B D D(fade) A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in [Riff] A-Asus-A (fade) _______________________________________________________________________________________ II. Well he A Bm died a little bit each time the night came in D A - Asus - A And the stars fell over Michigan Cus he�d loved her at the ball when he saw her Bm D E-E6-E dancing to �I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man� {Crazy Fill} Bm A Then he�d come over to his usual spot D F#m C#m (C#m Cm Bm) Soon they were makin� out at three AM in the empty parking lot Bm A - Asus - A They lay together under the burnt out stars A Bm D She never loved him back A Bm F#m {Slidey} It wasn�t even close B D But he was fine with just pretend B D that it was never gonna end B D and it was worth it just to know B D D(quick fade) A little warmth before the snow [Riff] A(fade) Hope you enjoyed it! Just use these chords for a ukulele if you would like to play it on there. It works very well since the high vocals don't conflict with the uke as much as normal songs would.
