Melody Flag by Bump Of Chicken Bump of Chicken - Melody Flag Tabbed by kO` Notes: Before starting tune entire guitar down one half step (D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#) Wheew, Done! This one is abit more challenging than Diamond technically, but a great song with a beautifully written two part guitar harmony. Sounds great with finger picking on an acoustic. You will most definitly need an mp3 of the song in order to follow these tabs, as there are many changes in the pattern of the song. An mp3 of Melody Flay is available for DL at Enjoy the tabs! ~kO` KEY: ~~~ Vibrato Picking, / Slide, ^ HammerPull Chord Key (yes I know, there are lots for this song) D Dmaj7 G(mod) G(bar) Em Asus G A(mod) C Dm F Em7 F#(mod) Asus/F# |--2----2-----2----3------0-----0---3-----0-----3---1---1---3---3--------0------| |--3----2-----3----3------0-----3---0-----2-----0---3---1---3---3--------3------| |--2----2-----0----4------0-----2---0-----2-----0---2---2---0---0--------2------| |--0----0-----0----5------2-----0---0-----0-----2---0---3---2---0--------0------| |--0----0-----x----5------2-----0---2-----0-----3---0---3---2---0--------0------| |--x----x-----3----3------0-----x---3-----0-----x---x---1---0---2--------2------| Intro: D Dmaj7 G(modified) |----0-3----|---0-2----|---0-2-------0232-| |--3-----3--|-2-----2--|-3-----3--3-3-----| |-2-2-2-2-2-|--2-2-2-2-|----0-0-0--0------| |-----------|----------|------------------| |-----------|----------|------------------| |-----------|----------|--3---------------| Intro (optional Guitar#2): |-------------------------| |-3--3--2--2--0--0--0--2--| |-------------------------| *Play in an offbeat |--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-| {Listen to the right channel of the original} |-------------------------| |-------------------------| Repeat Intro 2X until Motoo begins singing Then repeat Intro another 2X until you lead into Riff 1 Riff 1 (continuation of Intro): Em Asus G |----5-5------3^5-3--|----5-5-----3^5-3--|-0----0----3---------------------| |---5-5-5--3-3-----3-|---5-5-5---3-----3-|-0----3----0-0^1-0--0^1-0--0^1-0-| |----------0---------|---------4---------|-0----2----0------0------0-------| |-/4-------0---------|-/4------5---------|-2----0----0---------------------| |--------------------|---------5---------|-2---------2---------------------| |--------------------|---------3---------|-0---------3---------------------| ===Here comes my favorite part in the song, the two part guitar harmony=== Riff 2 (Guitar#1): Riff 2 (Guitar#2): |--------------------------| |---------------10------10-| |---------------10------10-| |-7-8-10---8-10----8-10----| |-7-9-11---9-11----9-11----| |--------7-----------------| |-0-0-0--7-0-0--0--0-0--0--| |-0-0-0--0-0-0--0--0-0--0--| |--------0-----------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| Intro (variation): G F#(mod) Em7 D Dsus |-3333-3333---3333-2222-3333----------------| |-3333-3333---3333-3333-3333----------------| |-0000-0000---0000-2222-2222----------------| |-0000-0000---2222-0000-0000-/4-2-0-/7-4----| |-2222-0000---2222-0000-0000------------754-| |-3333-2222---0000--------------------------| INTRO: tsukaretara chotto sa soko ni suwatte hanasou ka itsudatte bokura ha yasumu mo naku samayotta Riff 1 (continuation of Intro): me ni tomaranai sokudo de sekai ha ashita he to mukau hibiku kane no oto no you na ano merodi- ha nandakke - Riff 2 (two part harmony) - Intro: shiroi himo kutsu ga futo kizukeba tsuchi no iro kou yatte ikutsumo okiniiri ha yogoretetta Riff 1 (continuation of Intro): nanimo nakatta ka no you ni sekai ha kinou wo keshiteku tsukuriwarai de miokutta yume mo kibou mo suriherashita :CHORUS: Asus A(mod) G kawaru keshiki ni mayou toki kasuka na oto ga mejirushi ni naru Asus A(mod) G kieru keshiki no sono naka ni torinokosareta toki Asus G hibiku kane no oto no you na ano merodi- ha nandakke Asus/F# C kinou ya ashita jyanakute ima wo utatta uta Intro(distortion): Intro (variation): Intro: ikitekita bun dake fueta sekai ga tsukuru meiro sono naka de bokura ha mejirushi wo fukaku tsukisashita Riff 1: dono kurai tooku hanareta no?
