PULL A U - The Kills
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Filip Mesko
Email: filip DOT mesko AT gmail DOT com
Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps
lower. This is to get a low, bassy tone which Jamies's got.)
Capo on fret 3!
This is the way Jamie plays it. He does not tune to drop D.
All tabs relative to capo.
First there is a quite random intro which is quite hard to transpond for me,
but it is basically B's and mutes.
But then the main riff starts off like this:
RIFF 1
C#|------------------------------|
G#|------------------------------|
E |------------------------------|
B |------------------------------|
F#|-----------------------5-3b---|
B |---0--0--0--0--0-0-5-7--------|
Then sometimes he puts in this riff (quite randomly, I'd say):
RIFF 2
C#|----------------------------|
G#|----------------------------|
E |----------------------------|
B |------------------0--3--3---|
F#|------------------0--3--3---|
B |---0--0--0--0--0--0--3--3---|
Before the choruses Jamie skips the fancy parts of RIFF 1
and just goes like this:
RIFF 3
(Before the last chorus, play the last few strummings as chords
and a little faster)
C#|----------------------------|
G#|----------------------------|
E |----------------------------|
B |----------------------------|
F#|----------------------------|
B |---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---|
The chorus goes like this:
RIFF C
C#|------------------------------------------------------|
G#|------------------------------------------------------|
E |---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--------------|
B |---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--4-4--5--5---|
F#|---0--0--0--0--0--4^-4^-0--0--0--0--0--0--4-4--5--5---|
B |------------------------------------------4-4--5--5---|
This is the bridge after the second chorus:
C#|--------------------------------------------------|
G#|--------------------------------------------------|
E |--------------------------------------------------|
B |---0~---------------------------------------------|
F#|---0~---------------------------------------------|
B |---0~---------------------------------------------|
C#|--------------------------------------------------|
G#|--------------------------------------------------|
E |--------------------------------------------------|
B |---3-0---3-0---3---0-3--3---0-3-(0)-3-0--3-0--5---|
F#|---3-0---3-0---3---0-3--3---0-3-(0)-3-0--3-0--5---|
B |---3-0---3-0---3---0-3--3---0-3-(0)-3-0--3-0--5---|
