Fossils tab by Circa Waves

Tabs

--- Fossils - Circa Waves ---

Been working on this tab using live videos and by ear for a while now, but it is my
first tab, so please
comment suggestions if you have some.

h- hammer on
p- pull off

---Intro/Verse---

-Ryhthm-

The strumming Pattern is not worth tabbing out so just listen to the song and youl get
it ;-)
Come in after the lead guitaist has done his little riff once and a half, listen to the song
to get that perfect.

---Chorus---

-Rhythm-

Youll have to listen to the song for the strumming pattern.

Although im sure of the chords themselves, I think Circa Waves actually play them in
different ways.
Playing this still sounds good though.

      FM7 DmDm  A minorAm  Gm7Gm7

Looking at the live videos of this song, it looks like kieran (Rhythm guitarist) plays
something that looks like this -x-- Instead of Dm. Its up to you if you prefer it that way.
                -10-
                -9--
                -10-
                -10- (played with index finger)
                -x--

-Lead-

The timing of these is hard to represent in tab but its fairly easy to pick up :-)

e------------------------------------------------------------12----12----12----12----13----13----12----12--|
B-----13-----13-----13-----13-----16-----16-----16-----16--------------------------------------------------|

D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

---Verse 2---

Rhythm as normal

-Lead-

After one bar of doing nothing, play the regular verse with the 2nd ending, just one time.
Then play it again, picking very fast, palm muted, at about half speed.
I know that sounds super confusing, but it isnt when you listen to the song and play along.

Then, the rest of the band goes quiet, and you play

e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------8----------------------------------------------|
G-------9-7-9-----7---9---9--(whammy bar lightly down if you have one)-|
D--------------10------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

              Then into the chorus.

-Solo-

         Part 2                 Part 3

For parts 2 and 3, the rhythm guitarist only strums once in a while, and only the main C majorC
chord from the verse.
