All By Design by Big Wreck Okay, so I know Big Wreck plays in a really weird tuning, but I made this simplified version for anyone that wants to play it with ease. It's a half-step up from the original song. However, if you want to play it with the original tuning, the fretting of the special notes (see next) remains the same. In this chord diagram I have placed footnote numbers (1) and (2). See the bottom or details. INTRO: (1) (1) So we were on our way home On the right bus I just want to ask the driver If it's not too much fuss G To drop me at the old lady's And pick me up tomorrow (1) If you could, If you could A It's all by design Bm D G D To keep me from losing my mind D Well I was on my way there And it was just around the corner I caught a funny stare And started a fight with the owner G Well it's the whole nine yards D (2) (2) And I fold all my cards in your face, oh G 'Cause I love what is real And I loved you my dear D (2) Before you were replaced Oh, you were replaced A And it's all by design Bm D G D To keep me from losing my mind D So I saw you over there And acted like I don't care 'Cause I've never seen something that made me stare [SOLO- Sorry, I couldn't tab this if I tried, I'm not that good!] G Yeah, so then we run through your backyards D (2) And throw all my best cards in your face Yeah in your face G Because I love what is real And I loved you my dear before I was replaced D (2) I was replaced A And it's all by design Bm D G D (2) To keep me from losing my mind A It's all by design Bm D G D To keep us from losing our minds D We were on our way home And we were on the right bus I just want to tell the driver Don't bother 'cause it's a bust THE END! Footnotes: (1)- This is a chord called (in full) "A add9 no5 ||R23" and I didn't think I could fit all this in the space I had. It is played like this: e|--------7 B|-------6- G|-0------- D|--------7 A|-0------- E|X-------- (2) This is a sliding thing that just sounds cool, and I don't think the song sounds quite complete without it. So here it is. It's not hard to tell where it is exactly in the song. e|-----------------|-----------------| B|-----------------|-----------------| G|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-| D|-----------------|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-| A|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------| www.TAB6.com
