Tuning:Standard (Capo at 9th fret)
I saw that there already was a tab of this song and it's good but it´s not quite right.
I'm pretty sure MMJ plays this song with a Capo at the 9th fret.
It sounds more like the record AND it´s easier to play :)
Over all the choruses, play this little riff:
E A B e|---0----------0-0-4-7--5---------------------4--2--0-----------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Listen to the song for timing
Intro D U D D D U D D e|--------------------0-0-x----0-------------------------0-0-x----0------------------| B|--------------------1-1-x----1-------------------------0-0x----0-------------------| G|--------------------2-2-x----2-------------------------0-0-x----0------------------| D|--------------------2-2-x----2-------------------------2-2-x----2------------------| A|---------2~~-0------0-0-x----0---------------0---------2-2-x----2------------------| E|-0-0-0-3-----------------------------0-0-0-3----0------0-0-x----2------------------| D U D D D U D D D U D D e|--------------------0-0-x----0-------------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--| B|--------------------1-1-x----1-------------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--| G|--------------------2-2-x----2-------------------------1-1-x----1------1-1-x----1--| D|--------------------2-2-x----2-------------------------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--| A|---------2~~-0------0-0-x----0---------------0--2------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--| E|-0-0-0-3-----------------------------0-0-0-3-----------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
The rythm is the same as the intro in the first half of the song, but after that,
the jam starts, but i will get to that later.
Verse 1
E
Sorry bout the things that I had to say
A B
and I'll make it up to you right now at the penny arcade.
E
In an open car or wherever you are
A B
push yourself too far and it might get hot.
Pre-chorus
A B
Well I really don't need the confusion
A B
and you know I just ain't the type
A B A B
to get all wrapped up in the illusion of doin something that I know ain't right
right right. Right, right???
Chorus
E A
You've got to want to re-arrange and keep it off the record.
B
Off the record.
E A
You've got to know that we will change and keep it off the record.
B
Off The Record.
After the chorus, you play this:
e|-4-00000--4-00000---5--4-2-0--2--------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------0-0-0-0-2-5------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-4-00000--4-00000---5--4-2-0--2--7-----------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The timing is a little tricky on that riff so listen to the song to hear it.
Verse 2
E
In a crowded room near the box of boom,
A B
to an artificial tune, I see you swoon.
E A
Well you knew all this would turn to mist if your idea wasn't kissed
B
Why're you so pissed?
Pre-chorus
A B
Well I know you don't need the confusion
A B
and I know you just ain't the type,
A B A B
to get all wrapped up in the illusion of doin something that you know ain't right
Right Right.
Right Right??? Right Right??? Right Right???
Chorus
E A
You've got to want to rearrange and keep it off the record.
B
Off the record.
E A
You've got to know that we will change and keep it Off The Record.
B
Off The Record.
Over this chorus, play the chorus riff again.
E A
You've got to want to rearrenge and keep it Off The Record.
B
Off The Record
E A
You've got to know that we will change and keep it Off The Record.
B
Off The Record come on!
Play the intro again but instead of ending with this:
D U D D D U D D e|--------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--| B|--------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--| G|--------------------1-1-x----1------1-1-x----1--| D|--------------------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--| A|----------0--2------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--| E|--0-0-0-3-----------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
End with:
Em e|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|--0-0-0-3b-0-0--------------------|
Now the jam starts!
Play the above riff for a while and after that the keyboard comes in
The keyboard chords are Em and Am.
