STANDARD TUNING. Tabbed by: Francis C NOTES: I don't think it matters whether you use barre chords or regular chords, in the it sounds like they play with barre chords but I prefer regular chords. INTRO: GUITAR 1 e|---2-----2-----2-| B|-----3-----3-----| G|-4-----4-----4---| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| e|---2-----2-----2-| B|-----3-----3-----| G|-----------------| D|-5-----5-----5---| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| e|---0-----0-----0-| B|-----3-----3-----| G|-2-----2-----2---| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| e|---0-----0-----0-| B|-----3-----3-----| G|-2-----2-----2---| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| REPEAT FOR FOUR TIMES. MEANWHILE... INTRO: GUITAR 2*** (Comes in on the third loop of GUITAR 1) e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|-9-/-11-\-9-\-7-/-9-| D|-x-/-x--\-x-\-x-/-x-| A|-7-/-9--\-7-\-5-/-7-| E|--------------------| ***(I'm not sure if I correctly tabbed that out, but strum the guitar again when you get down to the 5th fret, otherwise it'll sound off.) VERSE: The verse is simply the chords Bm, G, D, and A. One strum for each bar. GUITAR 1: (So here's another day, I'll spend away from you...) e|-2-------3--------2-------0-----| B|-3-------3--------3-------2-----| G|-4-------0--------2-------2-----| D|-4-------0--------0-------2-----| A|-2-------2----------------0-----| E|-2-------3----------------------| GUITAR 2: After the piano riff comes in, every second bar the second guitar will do this: e|------------------------------| B|------------------------------| G|----xx-9-/-11-----------------| D|----xx-x-/-x------------------| A|----xx-7-/-9------------------| E|------------------------------| **"x" indicates strumming muted notes. PRECHORUS: The pre-chorus is simply the chords Em and G. e|-0----------3------| B|-0----------3------| G|-0----------0------| D|-2----------0------| A|-2----------2------| E|-0----------3------| ***The simplest way to play this is to strum each chord 8 times, but embelish it if you to. CHORUS: (And I do want to show you I will...) The chords for the chorus are D, A, Bm, G. Listen to the song for strumming pattern. e|-2-2---0-0-0---2-2---3-3-3-------| B|-3-3---2-2-2---3-3---3-3-3-------| G|-2-2---2-2-2---4-4---0-0-0-------| D|-0-0---2-2-2---4-4---0-0-0-------| A|-------0-0-0---2-2---2-2-2-------| E|---------------2-2---3-3-3-------| Repeat this progression for three times then: Em, A e|-0-------0------| B|-0-------2------| G|-0-------2------| D|-2-------2------| A|-2-------0------| E|-0-------0------| ***Strum each chord four times, embelish if you want to. REPEAT INTRO, (but only twice through rather than four times through) THEN VERSE, THEN CHORUS, THEN... BRIDGE: (Take me with you, I start to miss you...) e|-5---5---5---5----------| B|------------------------| G|---7---7---7---7--------| D|------------------------| A|------------------------| E|------------------------| **Repeat this for five times, THEN: Listen to the song for the strumming pattern to this part. D, (x indicates strumming muted notes) e|-2-2---xx--x--xx--x-2-2--xx--x--xx--x---| B|-3-3---xx--x--xx--x-3-3--xx--x--xx--x---| G|-2-2---xx--x--xx--x-2-2--xx--x--xx--x---| D|-0-0---xx--x--xx--x-0-0--xx--x--xx--x---| A|----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------| THEN: Bm, G, D, (A) e|-2----3----2---(0)-| B|-3----3----3---(2)-| G|-4----0----2---(2)-| D|-4----0----0---(2)-| A|-2----2--------(0)-| E|-2----3------------| The simplest way to play the above progression would be to strum each chord eight times, it if you'd like to. Hold on the A coming out of the bridge, when he goes into the chorus it's piano only for first time, Then he joins in with the piano: Bm, G, D, A e|-2----3----2---0-| B|-3----3----3---2-| G|-4----0----2---2-| D|-4----0----0---2-| A|-2----2--------0-| E|-2----3----------| Play this exactly like you played the bridge, only now you play the A chord. Repeat the above chord progression two times, then stop for the acapella part. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note END! ***That's it, hope I didn't do TOO bad for my first tab. Shout out to Hugh Boyd Grad Class of '09, we're almost there! Thanks to Christine B for helping me with the tab, as well as Pia M and Le-Ann J for trying out the tab before I published it. And Marianas Trench, for making such an awesome tune. Also, thanks to the crappy Richmond, BC weather; if it wasn't pouring outside I wouldn't tabbing this out.
