Standard Tuning - EBGDAE
Passing the Hat
by Cold War Kids
Tabbed by: Floydisco

This song is basically a few power notes and some riffs. But in the small break there's
bar chord that you can slightly hear. This allows the guitar to do the high melody on
E string. This tab is modified a bit to fit in the piano as a transcribed add-on to the 
part. Mainly because the guitar uses power chords heavily during the song.

(Intro)(^ means accent that chord/note)

    ^      ^
E------------|
B------------|
G-9-9--------|
D-9-9----9-9-|
A-7-7----9-9-|
E--------7-7-| (x2)

This is the part that's a transcribed piano part to fit the guitar part. If you want to
to just playing it regularly then just play the intro over the verse.

(Verse)

    ^      ^
E---7------7-|
B---8------7-|
G-9-9------8-|
D-9-9----9-9-|
A-7-7----9-9-|
E--------7-7-| (x4)

(Break)

    ^               ^               ^                   (Rest)
E---7---7-7-7h8-----7---7-7-7h8-----7-77-7-7-7h8--|
B---8---------------7---------------8-------------|
G-9-9----------9----8----------9--9-9-----------9-|
D-9-9-------------9-9-------------9-9-------------|
A-7-7-------------9-9-------------7-7-------------|
E-----------------7-7-----------------------------| (x2)

The bridge is just a strum of four bar chords. I'm not so positive on the names but I'm
sure it's: Am, G, F#m, and Em

(Bridge)

    (Am)     (G)   (F#m)     (Em)
E------5-------3-------2-------0-|
B-----5-------3-------2-------0--|
G----5-------4-------2-------0---|
D---7-------5-------4-------2----|
A--7-------5-------4-------2-----|
E-5-------3-------2-------0------| (x4)

Followed by: (Verse) (Bridge + Sigh of Relief) (Outro)

(Outro)
                          ^*  (*Last note seventh time only)
E-----7--------6----6-------|
B------8--------------------|
G-9-----9--8-----8--------9-|
D-9-9------8-8---8--------9-|
A-7--------6--------------7-|
E---------------------------| (x7)
