Artist: The Darkness Title: I Believe In A Thing Called Love Album: Permission to Land Originally tabbed by: Ross Kelly This improved version by: Reservoir Doggie Thanks to Ross for giving me a great start, I just added a few notes that Dan plays in between the chords coz they really make the song. I'd guess this is the way they play it, it certainly allows you to get the right swing to it without having to play like a speed-metal guitarist. Can't wait for the album. Keep rockin'! This is all in standard tuning. v=Vibrato pm=Palm mute Main riff/verse: |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |-----2-2-4-4--4-4-----4-4-2-2-------------| |--4--2-2-4-4--4-4-2-2-4-4-2-2-------------| |--4--0-0-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0----0-2-4----| |--2---------------0-0---------4v-------0--| On last time before Bridge replace with: |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |-----2-2-4-4--4-4-----4-4-2-2-------------| |--4--2-2-4-4--4-4-2-2-4-4-2-2-------------| |--4--0-0-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0----0--------| |--2---------------0-0---------4v---4-2-0--|

Dan uses a very heavy string gauge which is why it sounds like full chords.) |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |--------0-----------0-2-4-2--| |--0-2-4---4-0---2-4----------| Three times then: |---------------------| |---------------------| |---------------------| |-----------------7-7-| |-4-4-4-2-4-5--5--5-5-| |---------------------| First solo --12----12------12------------- --12b14----(14)----(14)b12-12-- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- -16b17b16-p-12--------------10---b--12------ ---------------9b10b9----------------------- ----------------------9--------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Middle solo ----------------------7-----7-----7--------- ---5---5---5---5--7b9---(9)---(9)---(9)b7--- -7b9-7b9-7b9-7b9---------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- --5----------------------------------------- ------8--6---------------------------------- ------------9-7-7s9-9-7-7-7----------------- ----------------------------9p7h9-9-9s11-9-7 -------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- --9--6---------------- --------9--6-7-7s9-9-- ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------------9---------9-- -----10-----10----10----9-----9----9----9----9 --12b14--12b14-12b14-11b13-11b13-----11b13---- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- --9p7--9p7---------------------------------- -----9----9-p7h9p7-------------------------- -------------------6-9-9-9-11----9-11------- ------------------------------11------11---- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------9-----9-----9--- -----------9---9-----9--11b13-11b13b13-11--- -------------------------------------------- --11-11-11-11-7-7--7------------------------ -------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------9----10----12-- --11b13-12b14-14b16-- --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- Song Order: Main Riff (muffled) Main Riff (verse) Bridge Chorus Solo 1 Main Riff (verse) Bridge Chorus Solo 2 Bridge Chorus (no guitar) Solo 3 Play Chorus riff to end This file is all my own work and Ross Kelly's own work.
