Hinder – Red Tail Lights (Guitar Tab)

Versions (4)

Auto-scroll

This is my first tab, so a few bits might be a little sketchy and I apologise if they are. Also, I've simplified the song extremely; I haven't managed to work out any of the lead yet, so I apologise for that too. I think it's reasonably accurate, and I love the song, so I hope this helps. Verse 1 and Intro.

You're waiting in the car as I pull in....
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------| This is only played through once for
G|-7777-5555-33333333----------55555555| the intro, but twice during the
D|-7777-5555-33333333-33333333-55555555| actual verse.
A|-5555-3333-11111111-33333333-33333333|
E|-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-11111111-xxxxxxxx|

Bridge.

Too little, too late, too bad that we can't save it...
e|------------------------|
B|------------------------|  Please be aware, that here, the '1' is actually
G|-33--3-55--5-77--7-11--1|  supposed to be a '10'. This is my first tab,
D|-33--3-55--5-77--7-11--1|  so I'm not sure how to fit in a double digit
A|-11--1-33--3-55--5-88--8|  number. There's quite a lot of par-muting
E|-xx--x-xx--x-xx--x-xx--x|  in this section, but you're going to have to
                             work that out yourselves. This is repeated
                             twice.

Chorus.

Girl, I swear I wasn't runnin` around...
e|------------------------------------|  This is repeated twice in the
B|------------------------------------|  chorus. Also, I'm not sure of
G|----------55555555-77777777-33333333|  the second chord, but it seems to
D|-33333333-55555555-77777777-33333333|  fit okay.
A|-33333333-33333333-55555555-11111111|
E|-11111111-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx|

Red tail lights in the pouring rain...
e|------|
B|------| Hold this note until the end of the bar.
G|-33333|
D|-33333|
A|-11111|
E|-xxxxx|

Verse 2.

B|-------------------|
G|-7777-5555-33333333| This is played through once before the actual verse
D|-7777-5555-33333333| starts.
A|-5555-3333-11111111|
E|-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|

And baby just roll the window down...

E|-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-11111111-xxxxxxxx|

The chorus is played next (tabbed above), without the bridge. After the chorus is a small guitar solo (which I haven't tabbed - sorry!). During the solo, this is played through twice:

D|-7777-5555-33333333|
A|-5555-3333-11111111|
E|-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|

Next is the bridge again (tabbed above)and the chorus (also tabbed above). Then for the next part, this is played through 4 times:

Too little, to the pouring rain...
