Higher Than The World by Armoury Show

Tabs

Tabbed by: John Dixon
Email:[email protected] for any comments/ suggestions.

Tuning:DADADE

This is a tab based mainly on the way that John McGeoch played the song live. The recorded version is very similar but
a bit more fiddly with overdubs and added guitar lines.The harmonics in fig 3 are taken from the live version.
You can see TAS perform this on Youtube.

Chorus:
      Dsus2/ Dsus2(iii)/ Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2          Gsus2/Csus2 - play twice
      Higher      than     the     World


Play pre-verse and then verse 3 is similar to verses 1&2 using same shapes.


Solo: I've slowed this section down with Slowgold, and these are the notes. If you can play it at album speed you are
   as good as John McGeoch! I can't!! I think John pulls off to the open strings to create the rythmn.
