Tab by Travis Lausch


There's a tab already on UG, but the entire key of that tab is off, 
as is much of the melody, so I am sitting down with this song and 
actually listening to the key it's in. There's actually quite a bit
more to the guitar than there seems in the song, and I transcribed 
some parts that may or may not be guitar. I'm arranging it in standard 
tuning. It may be in another tuning, but standard allows the harmonics 
I hear in the pre-chorus.



Intro/Verse 

Not sure exactly what effect is used here, but it sounds like whammy pedal.

                              x3  let ring----------------------

\ = dive w/whammy bar             
<#> = harmonic + octave up w/Whammy pedal

                   *
This note is a secnond guitar or synth fading in.

There's a synth part in the second chorus which can be approximated on guitar by doing this:

|---------------------------/17------|
|E|E|--------------------------------||----|
|------------------/14---------------|
|----------/7------------------------|
|E|E|--------------------------------||----|
|--/5E|E|--------------------------------|||
Each note lasts one measure.


The bridge/outro goes like this:

|E|E|--------------------------------||E|E|--------------------------------||-----------------|
|E|E|--------------------------------||E|E|--------------------------------||-----------------|
|--13--13--14--------14----------------------14----------------------14-----------|
|--13--13--14--14----------14----14----14----------14----14----14---(12)---14-----|
|--11--11--12-----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12(13)12--|
|E|E|--------------------------------||E|E|--------------------------------||-----------------|
Notes in parenthesis are played instead of the other notes sometimes.

After the break with the speech:

|E|E|--------------------------------||-------------|
|-----------------17------17------17---15-----|
|--3----3----2---------14------14---------15--|
|--3----3----2E|E|--------------------------------|||
|--1----1----0E|E|--------------------------------|||
|--1----1----0E|E|--------------------------------|||
                  ^2nd guitar playing with a phaser-like effect.
