Blame Game

Ok, I saw the requests for this song and honestly I'm not that much of a rap/hip hop fan
but I like this song. So I guess I'll try to work it out.
There's several ways to play this song, I guess, but I've written out this one from a
guitarist's perspective.
Play with a bit of delay to get the atmosphere, I guess.
Intro:
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|--------------------9----9h11p9--|
D|--11------9-11----9---11---------|
A|-----9-12------12----------------|
E|---------------------------------|
Ok, so the piano bassline goes like this:
Agh I'm sorry but it's a piano part and some of the chord shapes/changes might feel unnatural
(going up) (going down)
e|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------10--|--10----------------------------------10-----|
G|--------------------9--------11--------------|-----11------------11---11----11---------11--|
D|--11------9-11----9--------9----------11-----|--------11------11---------11------11--------|
A|-----9-12------12-------12---------12--------|-------------12------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
The going up part you need to bar the ninth and then move to a c shape starting on the
12th. Going down just bar 10th and make the shape.
That's going to repeat for the entire song, but it's probably not enough to sound good.
Here's the high part, which is tabbed out to go parallel with the low part.
e|-----------------------12h14p12--------------|---------------------------------------------|
B|--14--------14-------14----------------------|---14------12--------------------14----------|
G|---------------------------------------------|-11---------------11-------11----------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|----------------14---11-14-------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
^^This one's missing some notes because guitars don't go that high, and it wasn't as
accurate as I hoped, sorry.
As for the chords if you want to just do an acoustic cover I know it's in F#m but I'm
unsure of the other chords.
-2---5-|
-2---7-|
-2---6-|
-4---4-|
-4-----|
-2-----|
These two work well. Looking at the piano it seems that F#m is the key
Then again if you find a working progression, please put it in the comments and I'll add
it in.
Until then, I hope you enjoy/can find a use for these parts.
