Sirens by Dizzee Rascal

This is a pretty basic song and uses the old trick
of combining Hip Hop and Metal with a break reminiscent
of Straight Outta Compton and a filthy downtuned riff


There's really only 2 guitar parts in this song. The first
of which is that nasty lowdown powerchord which is a B5,
this means tuning down to Drop B tuning. That's C# tuning
with the lowest string tuned down a further tone to B

Part 1

C#|------------|
G#|------------|
E |------------|
B |-0--0-------|
F#|-0--0-------|
B |-0--0-------|

This sounds best with plenty of fuzz and a touch of reverb
played on a guitar with regular gauge strings so the heavy
handed strums really rattle the strings. A bridge singlecoil
will help the wirey, jangley sound of loose strings cut
through the fuzz


Part 2

This is a pretty brief part in the song that features
a Locrian progression to create a fairly cliched nu
metal riff.

C#|-------------|
G#|-------------|
E |-------------|
B |-------------|
F#|-0--1--6---5-|
B |-0--1--6---5-|
 
That F5 (the third chord in the riff) is slightly longer
than the two chords preceeding it to break up the beat and
add a bit of syncopation.

Hope you enjoy it. It's a nice tune to whip out in front of
your less rocky mates! Feel free to rate this or use this tab
as a basis for a more accurate version if you spot any
mistkaes (lolz)
