Closer - Kings Of Leon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tom Hopper (thellamaking)
Email: tom-hopper@hotmail.co.uk
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
First song off of KoL's new album Only By The Night!
Main (With Whammy and Delay)
* * *

The notes with the * on top are what you'd play if you don't have a whammy, otherwise
play the same note before that but use the octave up function on the Whammy.
Distorted lick #1 (mostly in the background)

this lick is used in some of the 'Chorus' parts ("And it's calling me closer") Uses a
of reverb/delay to make it sound more ambient.
Distorted Lick #1

B|-------12---------12---------15----------15----------14----------14--------|

Again used on some of the "And it's Calling me Closer" sections. Again with a fair use
reverb.
When the song picks up a bit there's a distorted section of just the main chords of B, D
A with the 'Main' lick playing under it.
Cheers!
