ALL ABOUT US - American Analog Set
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Keith
Email: waxnwane1@spamnobueno.yahoo.com
Tuning: Standard
::Intro/Verse - power chords - slide cleanly from one
to the next - 5th & 6th string with thumb & forefinger,
pluck the open D & G strings with index. it's easier, and sounds
ok, to not complete the F (2nd fret, 3rd string).
G A F G A F G A F G E F
E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
B ---------------------------------------------------------------|
G --------2------------2-0--------2----------2-------------------|
D ----------0------------------------0---------------------------|
A --5--7--3------5--7--3----5--7--3----5--2--3-------------------|
E --3--5--1------3--5--1----3--5--1----3--0--1-------------------|
During verse, the last E is replaced by an A until
the last measure
::section between verses ("I'll be the boy in the band...")
-alternates between the G & F on the 4th, 5th & 6th string (3rd & 1st frets):
G A
D --------|
A --5--7--|
E --3--5--|
- end on G, then back to intro/verse tab above
::Riff: (after "...it's all about us.") - play twice
there's something in between these two - can't make
out the guitar, think it might be G to F to E power chords?
E ----------------------|--------------------------------------|
B ----------------------|--------------------------------------|

D -----0-----0-2-0------|-----0-----0-2-0----------------------|
A -0h3---0-3-------3-0--|-0h3---0-3-------3--------------------|
E ----------------------|--------------------------------------|
::Last half of the song to outro - same power chords, play just the 5th &
6th strings so you can pick the open 4th string. The slides are more
pronounced, too. Pedal the D/G/B string against the chords
(time to the snare). Sounds best if you play the power chords with
your thumb and pluck the D/G/B strings with a finger.
:: 3 times like this, last one finishes with open G (3rd string) instead of D:
E -------------------------|
B -------------------------|
G -------------------------|
D --0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----|
A -5-7-3-7-5-5-2-3-5-3-----|
E -3-5-1-5-3-3-0-1-3-1-----|
:: keyboards have started - the open G's start to work in more (first measure is
below, eventually you're almost toggling between G & D - then almost all G's, then
even a B (2nd string) every now & then. all the notes sound good together, so don't
worry about playing them perfectly - just get brighter & darker as it sounds like
you should
