A great song off Grippe. Enjoy!
Intro - Drum intro, bass and guitar come at the same time.
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-5---------------| let G (5) ring.
A|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3-------3-------|-----------------|
This is played a few times. Then the intro changes to:
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
Keep playing G and then this is played into the verse
G|------|
D|------|
A|------|
E|-3--5-|
Verse - The verse has two main parts. The first is the Bb part - listen to the song to
work out how many bars of it there is (i think there is four) - alternatively play Bb on
1st fret on A.
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
Second part is the G part. It isn't played as straight as below, leave some rests
between notes, add different notes in, octaves etc. Some examples below.
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-------------5---|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------1-----|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3---3-|-1h3-3-3-3---3-1-|-3-x-x-3-x-3-3-x-|
Then it segues into the Bridge
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-0---------------| Let open E ring.
Bridge - There are two parts here. The bass starts by itself playing -
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-3-3-3-3---------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|---------3-3-3-3-|
Then when the singing starts to come in -
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-5-5-5-5---------|
E|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|---------5-5-5-5-|
Then it goes back to -
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-3-3-3-3---------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|---------3-3-3-3-|
The last time it goes -
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-3-3-------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-----------------|
Then back into the verse - Bb.
The verse is then repeated then at the closing of the song. Bb is held then it closes
with two G notes -
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-6---------------|-3-3-------------|
That's it!
