Tuning: Standard
The ambient noice carries out through most of the song... well probably through the
song and I believe it goes quite similarily to the guitar riff just before the
so
can just forge some nifty FX that'll mimic the cool bubbly noise and play along (and if
do feel free to message me the specs on the FX :P).
Guitar at around 1:20 fades in with some dead notes:
e|-------------------|
b|-------------------|
g|--x--x--x--x-------|
d|--x--x--x--x-------|
a|--x--x--x--x-------|
E|--x--x--x--x-------|
keeps on keepin on until 2:18, where acoustic comes in with a snazzy riff:
e|--------------------------|
b|--------------------------|
g|--------------------------|
d|-----------6--------------| x4
a|-------7-9---9-7----------|
E|---5h9-----------9--------|
Chords bumpin in at 2:26 (breakdown):
e|------------------|
b|------------------|
g|-(1)--------------|
d|--2------6--------|
a|--2-x32--7-x32----|
E|--0------5--------|
2:44 "Just put yourself in my new shoes"
e|--------------------------|
b|--------------------------|
g|--1----(8)----1-----------|
d|--2-----9-----2-----2=----|
a|--2-x32-9-x32-2-x32-2=----|
E|--0-----7-----0-----0=----|
The handsome equal sign means 'let ring' which in the song is done... well until the end
the whole song really, but there's a whole lot of noise here with plenty of instruments
fill in the guitar silence... I'm pretty sure there's even a silly glockenspiel in
There are also some bare earable chords played a lil' here and there which are just
of the breakdown chords. Also, as a lil' bonus, I'll throw in the bass line, or at least
I percieve to be the bass line, which carries on throughout the whole song really:
e|-------------------|
b|-------------------|
g|-------------------|
d|----------1--------| x4
a|------2-4---4-2----|
E|--0-4-----------4--|
e|-------------------|
b|-------------------|
g|-------------------|
d|----------6--------| x4
a|------7-9---9-7----|
E|--5-9-----------9--|
...and that is pretty much the whole song give or take some fine tuning that the
can pester me about later, but hey it's pretty much the bare bones of the song. Enjoy!
