One of the best tracks off their new album in my opinion.
You should go out and pick this album up if you haven't already :)
Pay close attention to the side notes I've inserted througout the
course of the song. The notes elaborate on the music.
Intro/Verse (Lead):
D ---------------------------------------------------------------|
A ---------------------------------------------------------------|
F ---------------------------------------------------------------|
C ---------------------------------------------------------------|
G --12-------12-------11-------11-------11-----------------------|
C -----14-14----14-14----14-14----14-14----14-14-14--------------|
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .** Repeat that riff from the very beginning of the song **
and throughout the verses. The same concept applies to
the upcoming rhythm section.
Intro/Verse (Rhythm):
The rhythm section changes every time Shimon sings a new "Maybe" line,
with minor exceptions. Play each of the following notes repeatedly.
Note: This section is also palm muted thoughout,
and I prefer to down pick this section as
opposed to alternate picking... It seems
to match the sound better.
"Maybe I'm a dreamer..." "Maybe I'm misunderstood..." D ---------------------------------------------------------------| A ---------------------------------------------------------------| F ---------------------------------------------------------------| C ---------------------------------------------------------------| G ---------------------------------------------------------------| C --2------------------------7-----------------------------------| "Maybe you're not seeing..." "The side of me you should..." D ---------------------------------------------------------------| A ---------------------------------------------------------------| F ---------------------------------------------------------------| G ---------------------------------------------------------------| G ---------------------------------------------------------------| C --4-----------------------------9------------------------------| "Maybe I'm crazy..." "Maybe I'm the only one..." D ---------------------------------------------------------------| A ---------------------------------------------------------------| F ---------------------------------------------------------------| C ---------------------------------------------------------------| G ---------------------------------------------------------------| C --2----------------------7-------------------------------------| "Maybe I'm just out of touch..." D ---------------------------------------------------------------| A ---------------------------------------------------------------| F ---------------------------------------------------------------| C ---------------------------------------------------------------| G ---------------------------------------------------------------| C --4------------------------------------------------------------|
