India - Psychedelic Furs
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Guillaume
Email:
Tuning: standard
The quiet intro is these chords:
D A G
And is something like this:
E|--2~--2--3~-2~-0~--0~--0--0~--------0~--0--0~--0--3~-3/5---------|
B|--3~--3------------2~--2-----2~-----3~--3--3~--3-----------------|
G|--2~--2------------2~--2--------2~--0~--0--0~--0-----------------|
D|--0~--0------------2~--2------------0~--0--0~--0-----------------|
A|-------------------0~--0------------2~--2--2~--2-----------------|
E|------------------------------------3~--3--3~--3-----------------|
with variations of course.
Then, as you know, the bass line begins thus:
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-|
Then the guitar begins with the main riff:
E|------------------0----------------------0-----------------------|
B|--------------------2----------------------2---------------------|
G|--0-0-0-0-0h2-2-------2---0-0-0-0-0h2-2------2-------------------|
D|----------------2-------2---------------2------2-----------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
These power chords are played later in the song in the same fashion as the bass line:
E|---------------------------------------------------|
B|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-12-12--|
G|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--11-11-11-11--|
D|--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9---|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
B|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-8--8--8--8---|
G|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--7--7--7--7---|
D|--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--5--5--5--5---|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
This riff is also played later in the song:
E|----------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|--7-7-5-5---------(7)-(7)-(7)-----------------|
D|----------7-7-5-5-----------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
And that's all the major parts of the song I believe. If you really want to learn to
it well, I suggest watching their DVD “Live from the House of Blues. That’s where I learned
although that was a long time ago and I did this from memory and listening to the song,
I hope this helps someone!
