Unknown Mortal Orchestra – One At A Time (Guitar Tab)

Half-Step Down (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb)

Auto-scroll

Chords

Quite an old song now but I wanted to learn it so I made this tab. Since I couldn't find any live footage of UMO playing this song, I'm not sure how accurate this is but it sounds right to me and is full of Major9 and Minor9 chords like most UMO songs are. The song heavily features a wah, obviously. [Intro]

[Verse 2] Same as before, except a second cleaner guitar strums the same chords once over top of the Wah-ed guitar. There is also a small fill added on the first repeat of the first chords.

[Verse 3] There is a lead part that plays on the first repeat but I didn't tab it as the auto-wah makes it really hard to tell what he's playing.
