Tabs

Track #10 off of Apocalyptic Love. It was broadcast on Slash's BBC Radio 2 rock
show a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with it. It's quite a fun one to play as
well - especially if you have a wah.

Let's get started.

Verse:

eb|---------------------------|
Bb majorBb|---------------------------|
GbGb|---------------------------|
db|---------------------------|
AbAb|-0-2-3-2-0---7--10-9-8--3--| x7
DbDb|-0-2-3-2-0---7--10-9-8--3--|

eb|---------------------------|
Bb majorBb|---------------------------|
GbGb|---------------------------|
db|------------------------10-|
AbAb|-0-2-3-2-0---7--10-9-8--10-|
DbDb|-0-2-3-2-0---7--10-9-8--10-|

Bridge:

eb|--------------------------------------|
Bb majorBb|--------------------------------------|
GbGb|--------------------------------------|
db|--------------------------------------|
AbAb|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-10-10-10---|
DbDb|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-10-10-10---|
PM---------------------------------------|

The guitar is all very linear up to this point. After the bridge, though, it splits into
two - Slash and Myles. Myles was the only person to play guitar on this album other
than Slash.

Chorus:

Slash:
eb|------------------------------------|
Bb majorBb|------------------------------------|

db|-0-7-----3-----x---3-5--------------|
AbAb|-0-7-3h5---3h5 x 0h1-3--------------| x1

The verse is the same as before for the first half, but this is introduced for the second half:

Slash:
eb|-------------------------------------------------|
Bb majorBb|-------------------------------------------------|
GbGb|-5-5-4-4-3-3-1-1s2-------------------------------|
db|-------------------------------------------------|
AbAb|---------------------5-x-5---5-x-5---3h5---------|
DbDb|-------------------0-------0-------0-------------|
         PM--------------------------------|

The riff repeats until the bridge, which leads into the chorus as previously.

There's a flurry here in DmDm Pentatonic that I can't transcribe because of the wah
blurring the notes, but it ends with this:

eb|---------------------|
Bb majorBb|---------------------|
GbGb|-12b14-12b14~-10-----|
db|-----------------12/-|
AbAb|---------------------|
DbDb|---------------------|

The verse is empty of guitar bar some clean chords:

eb|---5---6---5--|
Bb majorBb|-6-6---6---6--|
GbGb|-7-----7---5--|
db|--------------|
AbAb|--------------|
DbDb|--------------|

After this, slide in from high on the low strings into a chorus. The chorus is the same
as the previous ones, but double the length.

After this, stamp on your wah pedal and leave it almost flat, so you get a very trebley
and quite distorted tone. Slash brings in another riff for the final section of the song;
