Fat Freddys Drop

Text File

Song: Hope for a Generation Artist: Fat Freddy's Drop Album: Hope for a Generation EP tabbed by James van Rooyen A long song, hopefully you don't get lost in the tab. If in doubt, just use the Am & C chords. I've divided the songs into 2 parts, the second part starts at 5:37 For the most part the song is in Am, so any fills you find you should be able to figure out using the Am scale. Sorry for not tabbing them all out, but it'd just get too messy, but do take the time to figure them out and put them in at the end of each line, because fit really well. Main Riff: E-------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------| G--------------2-0-2-0----------------------------| D-----2-2-2-2------------------5-5-5-5----5-------| A-0-0------------------7-5-3-3----------3---------| E-------------------------------------------3-4-5-| Main riff as intro a few times, then come in with the chords: Main chords: For both verse & chorus of first part of song, lyrics incl.

Towards the end it's still call and response, however Joe sings different notes to what the brass plays. Finally, after the singing, the brass comes in with their solo.

Together (voice & guitar) make up part of a C major chord.
