STUDIO VERSION
The other version is for the live version.
Big thanks to kusanagimotoko1 for the tab on that.
While the other tab may not be note for note accurate it is cool to throw some of the variations in
when playing so recommend you check it out.
The live version is played a whole step lower than the studio album.
On the album version the bass is more prounounced by the actual bass guitar,
but we're gonna be playing the bassline too for this.
The most used way to play the VERSES is this.
[Verse]
D|----------------------0---------------| A|-------0-------0----------------------| G|-----0-------0-------0----------------| D|---4-------0-------0------------------| A|--------------------------------------| D|-2-------4-------0---------5h--4^0----|
Mark rarely changes it up but when he does it goes like this.
It's only one notes change but you can hear it.
D|---------------0-------0--------------| A|-------0------------------------------| G|-----0-------0-------0----------------| D|---4-------0-------0------------------| A|--------------------------------------| D|-2-------4-------0---------5h--4^0----|
On the odd occassion I also feel like I can hear this at times
D|-----------------------0--------------| A|-------0-------0----------------------| G|-----0-------0-------0---------0------| D|---4-------0-------0-----------4^0----| A|--------------------------------------| D|-2-------4-------0---------5h--4^0----|
or
D|-----------------------0--------------| A|-------0-------0----------------------| G|-----0-------0-------0---------0------| D|---4-------0-------0-----------0------| A|--------------------------------------| D|-2-------4-------0---------5h--4^0----|
[Chorus]
I will admit it's much harder to pick out the notes exactly as played on the album,
but here's my best go of it following the vocals for matching the notes.
"Heal her soul" "Carry her my" falsetto "angel" "Ohiooooo"
D|----------------------0-|--------------|------------------0--|--------------| A|-------0-------0--------|--------------|---------7--------5--|--------------| G|-----0-------0-------0--|--------------|-------0--------0----|--------------| D|---4-------0-------0----|--------------|-----0--------0------|-0-----0------| A|------------------------|--------------|---7--------5--------|-0-----0------| D|-2-------4-------0------|---5h--4^0----|---------------------|-7^5s4h5-4-2v-|
There is a second guitar that comes in to play the leads in between while the rhythm is carried on.
GUITAR 2 LEAD
D|--------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| G|-----0--4-4-2-0----0--4-4-2-0---------| D|--2-------------0---------------------| play twice A|--------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------|
But I like to play the lead with the bass included,
so I also include an extra note to make it feel less sparse when playing solo
D|---------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------| G|-----0--4-4-2-0----0--4-4-2-0----------| D|--2---0---------0---0------------------| play twice A|---------------------------------------| D|--2-------------0----------------------|
On the second playthough add the bassline in
D|-----------------| A|-----------------| D|-----------------| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| D|------5h--4s2----|
The final lead can't exactly have the bassline because it's too far up the neck.
So GUITAR 2 LEAD 2
D|--9-9-9-----------------------| A|--------10-12-9v---9h10-9s7---| D|---------------------------9--| D|------------------------------| A|------------------------------| D|------------------------------|
But I have done my own arrangement with some bass if you are playing totally solo and want to keep it.
D|--9-9---5--7--4~-4h5---5^4-------------| A|-----------------------------7---------| D|---------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------| A|---7----------5~-~-----------7---------| D|---------------------------------------|
And that should be everything.
