And I shall believe. (x15) ............. Another song that demonstrates the power of underplaying. One acoustic guitar does this - + + + + + + |-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------| (repeat ad infinitum) |-4---4-2-----|-4---4-2-----| |-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------| throughout. One electric with its tone control turned down does this - (-------------Intro-------------) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-2-----| |-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-------|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-0-----| |-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------| (etc) throughout with plam muting - follow the chords, obviously. The only variation in this is on the F#F# chord in the chorus - + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-2-----|-------| |-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-|-0-----|-------| |-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-|-------|-------| There is also another part which I think is a guitar, but a pretty strange sounding one. I suspect that it must be using a volume pedal or else some kind of sustaining device like an E-bow, a Fernandes sustainer pickup or good old fashioned compression. Once again, it's wonderfully underplayed, so tabbing it out completely would be pointless. However, it comes in on the second half of the first verse and goes something like this - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |/9-----|-----9-|-8-----|-------|-6----6|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-7-----|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| The first half of the second verse goes like this - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-9-----|-------|-------|-------|-------|-----7-|-6-----|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-7-----|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| The first chorus and link into the third verse go like this - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|------7| |h9-----|p8-----|-6-----|------8|h9-----|p8-----|-6-----|------8| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |h9-----|p7-----|-------|-------|-------|------7| |h9-----|p8-----|-6-----|-------|/9-----|-------| |-------|-------|-8-----|-------|/11----|------9| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |h9-----|-------|5-----|------7|h9-----|-------|5-----|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|7-----|------9|-------|-------|7-----|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| The solo goes like this - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |h9-----|p8-----|p6-----|---6/8-|h9-----|p8-----|p6-----|---6/8-| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|---7/9-| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|------7| |-9-----|p8-----|-------|-------|-------|-------| |-9-----|-------|-8-----|-------|/11----|------9| |-------|-------|-9-----|-------|/12----|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| Finally, note that any of the guitars can simulate the hammond organ intro by doing this - (NH - natural harmonics) |--------| |-12-----| |--------| |--------| |-7------| |--------| ...................
