Become by Goo Goo Dolls ARTIST: The Goo Goo Dolls TITLE: Become ALBUM: Let Love In (2006) Tabbed by: Khoa (yokan@sbcglobal.net) =================================================== INFORMATION =================================================== Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them if you're feeling adventurous. If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is C -> G -> Am -> F in Eb tuning. DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step) EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain This is what I have on my Metal Zone: Level: 9 o'clock Low: Max High: 10 Mid freq: Max Middle: 12 Dist: 11 =================================================== BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords B->F#->G#->E) and riffs for 4 measures =================================================== C G so much more about you that you never let them see Am You turn away F But not to me C I know how they tried to take you G Am Held you up and meant to break you down F But you can't be C For so long I tried to reach you G I know I'm almost there Am F I'm close enough for you to see =================================================== Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression. Basically: B5 = C, F#5 = G, G#5 = Am, E5 = F. This is where distorted power chords come in. =================================================== B5 -> A#5 -> G#5 B5 F#5 You've been hiding in the shadows G#5 E5 Have you forgotten how we used to dream B5 Let me remind you F#5 G#5 The light doesn't blind you at all E5 It just helps you see F#5 Can you see B5 F#5 Yeah you have become B5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5 And I can't be the stranger F#5 That's been sleeping in your bed just G#5 E5 Turn around and come to me B5 I feel all the pain inside F#5 G#5 And everything you been denied you feel E5 It's all you feel B5 -> A#5 -> G#5 B5 F#5 You've been hiding in the shadows G#5 E5 Have you forgotten how we used to dream B5 Let me remind you F#5 G#5 The light doesn't blind you at all E5 It just helps you see F#5 Can you see B5 F#5 Yeah you have become B5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5 F#5 Yeah you have become B5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5 Brush back your hair and look around you F#5 G#5 Feeling like the truth has found you here E5 You're here with me B5 F#5 Let love become the mirror F#5 E# With no fear where you're from B5 F#5 You have become G#5 F#5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful =================================================== MISCELLANEOUS =================================================== Most of the percussion is played in this pattern: x x x x x x x x s s B B B x = 8th note cymbal s = snare b = bass drum You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar. Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes). The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic. =================================================== CHORD DIAGRAMS =================================================== e ---------------------------------- B ---------------------------------- G --4---------------------------3--- D --4------4------6------2------3--- A --2------4------6------2------1--- E ---------2------4------0---------- B5 F#5 G#5 E5 A#5 As always, power chords are easier in drop D tuning. e ---------------------------------- B ---------------------------------- G ---------------------------------- D --9------4------6------2------8--- A --9------4------6------2------8--- D --9------4------6------2------8--- B5 F#5 G#5 E5 A#5 =================================================== CONTACT =================================================== Questions?
