AS WE GO UP
-----------
The chorus and verse are both arpeggiated barre chords. These are the
notes I think they're playing, but the guitar is pretty hard to hear
for most of the song
Verse:
G C E D e---3------------------------------------------------------------------ B------3--------5------------------------------------------------------ G-----------------5-------9--------7----------------------------------- D---------------------------9--------7--------------------------------- A------------3-------3-7------7--5------------------------------------- E-3-------3------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
G C Bm C e----3-------------------2-------------------------------------------- B------3------5------------3------5----------------------------------- G---------------5-------------------5--------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------------------------- A-----------3------3--2------2--3------------------------------------- E-3-------3-----------------------------------------------------------
For the bridge ("I speak in monotone...") play Bb and C, strummed
normally.
------------
BLIMPS GO 90
------------
The verse is a pretty simple little riff.
Play this thing a few times:
e------------------ B------------------ G------------------ D---4-------4------ A-2---2------------ E-------0-0---0----
Followed by:
e----------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------- etc.
D---------------------------4-------4----
A----6-------6-----4------2--2-----------
E--4---4-4-4---0-2---2----------0-0---0--
^ (This is kind of a grace note played as you move your
fingers from the G#5 to F#5.)The transition from verse to chorus goes:
e------------------- B------------------- G------------------- D----4-----4-------- A--2---2-1---1-2---- E-------------------
The chorus is just two note power chords:
G#5 F#5 E5
G#5 E5 F#5
The violin part is basically four notes played in different orders.
e---11---9---------- is the first riff; the violin plays these notes B-----------12---9-- throughout the rest of the song.
--------------
CLOSER YOU ARE
--------------
The verse is just a change between C and G barre chords.
The chorus is G C Bm Bb A. For "Now you can see the boys" play C then B. (It might be C then G,
I'm not really sure.)
The "dreaming, scheming" riff is this:
e-----0-0-0-------0-0-0----------------------------------------------- B---0-------0---0-------0-----0-0-0-------0-0-0----------------------- G---------------------------0-------0---0-------0--------------------- D--------------------------------------------------------------------- A-0-----------0------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------0-----------0-------------------------------
The last part goes like this:
C G Csus2
e--3-----3----3---------------3----------------------3---------------- B--5----------3---------------3----3--3--3-----------3---------------- G--5--5----5--4---------------5-5-----------5--------4---------------- D--5----------5---------------5----------------------5---------------- A--3----------5---------------3----------------------5---------------- E-------------3--------------------------------------3----------------
I get up Seven o'clock Drive myself up to the lookout rock
------------
LITTLE WHIRL
------------
The verse riff is: D A G E G A The chorus is: G A
End on A D.
-----------
MY SON COOL
-----------
The intro is: B D
B D E
The verse is: A D A F# E F# D B D And then repeat the intro.
----------
PIMPLE ZOO
----------
The first part is E then G.
The break in between the two main parts is B G# D#.
Then the final part is E then Db.
--------------
A SALTY SALUTE
--------------
The guitar part to this is simply D and E. However, I think it sounds
better to follow the baseline, especially if you're just playing alone.
In that case, the chords are: D A D G F# E F# G.
------------------
WATCH ME JUMPSTART
------------------
The opening riff is 3 barre chords: E F# A F# E
For the verse, I play the same chords, only leave the low E string open
and alternate it with the chords like this:
e-0-----0----------2-----2----------5------ B-0-----0----------2-----2----------5------ G-1-----1----------3-----3----------6------ D-2-----2----------4-----4----------7------ A-2-----2----------4-----4----------7------ E---0-0---0-0-...----0-0---0-0-...----0-0--
Followed by the main riff.
For the "Shoot me down part" play E followed by A.
Then, for "Cause I won't be around" play a Dbm. The little riff that
goes on there is just the B string; while making the Dbm, lift your
middle finger on and off, like this B-5-5-5-4-5. The rest of the bridge
goes like this:
F# E As you run from the places you love I remember the faces that cry C D C And they're pulling me back so I have to die
