As much as i hate to admit it, i love this cover.
Its good to play because people recognise it too.
Couldn't find a tab, so after hours of studying the video - Here you all go.
Guitars 1,2 and Three.
Guitar 1 - Palm Muted - This is the backing throughout the majority of the song. Its in bars of 8 - Play with or without the G string - whichever you think sounds better. E|---------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---00000000---00000000---00000000---00000000-------------| G|---00000000---00000000---00000000---00000000-------------| B|---33333333---33333333---33333333---33333333-------------| e|---33333333---33333333---33333333---33333333-------------|
Guitar 2 - Comes in after 16 bars. Kinda palm muted/Harmonics
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------12-12-12-12-12-12-9-9-10-10-10-10-10-10--| D|---------------------------12-12------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Cont. E|-------------------------------------------| A|----------12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12----------| D|----12-12----------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| Repeat. e|-------------------------------------------| This covers (Every note relates to a word to keep your timing) : I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, and now you're in my way I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way When the bridge comes, Guitar 2 changes to the same riff but lower down: E|----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----4-4-4-4-4-4-----2-2-2-2-2-2-----4-4-4-4-4-4------| A|--------------------4-4-------------1-1-------------4-4------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Still with guitar 1 in the background - This covers: Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby?
Chorus:
Guitar 1 carrys on the backing rythem after the pause...
Guitar 2(Its just power chords- You know, the ones you use to play EVERY Green day song):
E|--2-----4-4----2-2----4-4---------------| A|--4---4-6-6-1--4-4--4-6-6---------------| D|--4---6-6-6-3--4-4--6-6-6---------------| G|------6-----3-------6-------------------| B|----------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------|
(The Rythem backing for this is actually done by Guitar 3 while guitar 1 does some
strange fingertapping which cant be heard - So its not needed.Lets keep it simple
people - Guitar two also changed from using the powerchord at 1 To 6 But they
sound the same.)
3 8
3 8
My favourite bit... The chorus...Outro?
Guitar 1 rythm again.
Guitar 2 straight out of the last chord: E|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------| A|--------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------| Cont... E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-----10-10-10-10-10-10-| D|--------------------------------------------------9-9-------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| Cont... E|-----------------------------------------| A|---------12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---------| D|---12-12---------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------|
Repeat again and during the third time, Guitar one does something different for once...:
Guitar 1:
?
E|----------------------------------|
A|---3------------------------------|
D|---3-----6------12----12----------|
G|---2-----8------14----14----------|
B|---1-----9------14----15----------|
e|----------------------------------|
This bits a bit messy and you can hear him play a few wrong notes, so improvise on
the above. I know the last three bits are right, you work out the rythem.Repeat the chorus...
Then you get to this bit..
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad I missed you so bad I missed you
so, so bad Before you came into my life I missed you so bad And you should know
that I missed you so, so bad
Which is as follows: Guitar 2 Plays the chorus power chords, Guitar 1: E|----------------------------------| A|----------------12-12--12-14-10---| D|----12-12-12-12-14-14--14-16-12---| G|----14-14-14-14-14-14--14-16-12---| B|----15-15-14-14-------------------| e|----------------------------------| Guitar three harmonics (Slightly like the into to sweet child of mine?): E|---------------------10----------------------10--| A|------12----------10-----8-----12----------10----| D|---12---------12------------12----------12-------| G|---12------14---------------12-------14----------| B|--------15------------------------15-------------| e|-------------------------------------------------|
Emjoy!
