Tabbed by: Aaron
E-mail: Just comment below
Tuning: I believe it's standard, but please let me know if you think otherwise
This is my first tab, so forgive its relative crudeness, but I felt compelled to make
this after I spent a long time trying to figure out how this song is actually played, as
opposed to just using the G, D, A chords as the other upload suggests. I will link the same
live video however, as it gives a pretty good view of Russel's fingers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFoGIVPGVas. You'll have to be familiar enough with the song to
get the timing and so forth though, but I'm going to try my best here. I'm sure it's not perfect
and you might need to improvise a bit, but I think it's pretty close to how he plays it. Again,
though, it could be a different tuning, but these are the fingerings from what I can tell.
He uses some looping effects or something and vibrato to get that sound in the intro.
Intro
e|---x---------9-------9------9--9----x--------------------------------------|
B|---x---------9h10----12-----12-10---x--------------------------------------|
G|---9---------9-------9------9--9----9--------------------------------------|
D|---9---------11------11-----11-11---9--------------------------------------|
A|---11~-------x-------x------x--x----11-------------------------------------|
E|---0---------0-------0------0--0----0--------------------------------------|
Verse (He just alternates between these two chords and does little fills with his pinky,
like in the intro)
e|----9--------------x-------------------------------------------------------|
B|----9h10-----------x-------------------------------------------------------|
G|----9--------------9-------------------------------------------------------|
D|----11-------------9-------------------------------------------------------|
A|----x--------------11------------------------------------------------------|
E|----0--------------0-------------------------------------------------------|
Chorus (I know my place..)
e|----7----------5-----------------------x-----------------------------------|
B|----7----------5-----------------------x-----------------------------------|
G|----8----------6-----------------------9-----------------------------------|
D|----9----------7-----------------------9-----------------------------------|
A|----9----------7-----------------------11----------------------------------|
E|----7----------5-----------------------0-----------------------------------|
Chorus (Alternatively, you can end this part with an E chord. I usually switch to this before the next
segment)
e|----7----------5-----------------------0-------------------------------------|
B|----7----------5-----------------------0-------------------------------------|
G|----8----------6-----------------------1-------------------------------------|
D|----9----------7-----------------------2-------------------------------------|
A|----9----------7-----------------------2-------------------------------------|
E|----7----------5-----------------------0-------------------------------------|
Outro (Cold fame in my brain...) Again, just alternating chords for each line. In that
live video, he uses
pinky fills on the A chord (2nd string, 3rd fret)
e|-----0----------0----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----0----------2----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----1----------2----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2----------2----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----2----------0----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----0----------x----------------------------------------------------------|
I hope this helps somebody out there.
