Chords

___________________ / Tim Christensen / Remember to check out my Guitar Pro tab of the whole / Superior / thing - it's definitely easier to learn the song from / Superior / that. It includes all the instruments, except for the /__________________/ drums, and also includes many cool details that didn't fit into this simple text tab! Time: Shuffled 4/4 Tempo: 65 bpm Key: C major In this song there are 3 guitar: The acoustic one and two electrics, one rhythm guitar and one solo guitar. I've notated the guitars seperately to not mess up the tab more than necessary ******************************************************************************** * The Acoustic Guitar * *********************** Capo on 5th fret

Notice that the chord is fully strum on all the off-beats, "1 and", "2 and", "3 and", "4 and". That gives the song its rhythmic feel, and that's really important for the song.

******************************************************************************** Note that the acoustic guitar has a bit of a problem with the key. It has capo on the 5th fret, so when it plays an Am, it's actually a Dm, the Em/G is actually an Am/C and so on. That is one of the troubles when playing with capo, but that's life. The electric guitars don't play with capo, so their chords are the actual chords! ******************************************************************************** * The 1st Electric Guitar (rhythm) * ************************************ This guitar doesn't play in until Chorus 2.
