Big Bang

Cursive

Text File

You can take loads of liberties with this song, but here is the basic premise. Feel free put in whatever dischordant bits you want, but this is what I do. Also, we all know that Cursive tunes their guitars down a whole step, but you can easily this song without doing so. This is written in standard EADGBE Main Riff: |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----*^-----*^---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----*^-----*^---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-888----888------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-888----888------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-666----666------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| The *'s mean play whatever ugly sounding thing you can and bend it. I normally play b|-6-- or b|-5--|- but you can really do whatever. g|-8^- g|-8^-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------| |-----*^-----*^-| |-----*^-----*^-| |-444----666----| |-444----666----| |-222----444----| That's the main bit. Repeat as necessary, then go to the palm muted part about the not agreeing: |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |-44444444--66666666--88888888/33333333--44444444--66666666| |-44444444--66666666--88888888/33333333--44444444--66666666| |-22222222--44444444--66666666/11111111--22222222--44444444| "...Eve, Orginal sin, Idyllic garden..." |------------------------------------------------------------------------x-x-x-| |------------------------------------------------------------------------x-x-x-| |-66666666--44444444--33333333-------------------------------------------x-x-x-| |-66666666--44444444--33333333--66666666--4444444444444444--666666666666-x-x-x-| |-44444444--22222222--11111111--66666666--4444444444444444--666666666666-x-x-x-| |-------------------------------44444444--2222222222222222--444444444444-x-x-x-| Solo (Yes, Tim plays this) |-------------------------------------------------------| |-4^4^4^4^4^4^4^4^4^4^4^4-------------------------------| |-9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9-9^---9^---9^---9^---9^---9^---| |----------------------------8----8----8----8----8----8-| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------*-*-*-| |------------------------------*-*-*-| |-/3/5/6/8/6/10/8/10/8-5h6p5---*-*-*-| |----------------------------6-*-*-*-| |------------------------------*-*-*-| |------------------------------*-*-*-| |-----------------------------| |-----*^-----*^-----*^-----*^-| |-----*^-----*^-----*^-----*^-| x2 |-444----666----888----888----| |-444----666----888----888----| |-222----444----666----666----| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-444-4---666-6---444-4---666-6-| |-444-4---666-6---444-4---666-6-| |-222-2---444-4---222-2---444-4-| |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------| |-6--4--3-------------------------------| |-6--4--3--6--44444444-6666666666666666-| |-4--2--1--6--44444444-6666666666666666-| |----------4--22222222-4444444444444444-| Let each single powerchord ring until you get to the F#5 repeated. |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5--6666666666666666-| |--6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4-6666666666666666-| |------------------4444444444444444-| |--------------------------| |-----*^-------------------| |-----*^-------------------| |-888----888--10/11/13/15--| Repeat as necessary |-888----888---x/-x/-x/-x--| |-666----666---8/-9/11/13--| Those octaves at the end can really be replaced with any stepwise ascension. Just move the neck 2 frets on each slide. That's just how I play it. Now add horns, figure out what the hell Ted is playing as lead, and you've got yourself good song.
