REVIVAL TOWN - Delirious?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Okay folks, this is the US version of Revival Town. The UK version can be found in the
King of Fools album tab, but it differs significantly from the US version.
There are two electrics and one acoustic playing in the song. However, the acoustic is nearly impossible
to tab out, as it is very quiet. The second electric only comes into to play a couple of riffs in verse two
You'll need to listen to the song to figure out the timing on parts.
One main riff is repeated throughout the song. Here it is:
Main Riff
e|----------------|
BB|----------------|
G+G|----------------|
D MajorD|----------------|
A augmentedA|--------9-0-5-7-|
E MajorE|---7--7---------|
The main riff is played 8 times for the intro, and 16 times for the first verse.
For the pre-chorus, strum the following chords: Em7-G-G/B-Asus
For the chorus, play the following riff three times (the timing isn't perfect):
e|---------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---7-7-7-7-9-7----------------7-7-7-9-7-4----------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------|
For verse two, play the following power chord progression four time (listen to the track for timing):
The second electric comes in at points during this verse to play this riff, in addition to the lead
electric. This tab just shows how to play the riff, not the timing on it.
e|----------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------|
G+G|----------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---9-9-9---7-7-7---5-5-5---7-7---5---7-7---9--|
E MajorE|---7-7-7---5-5-5---3-3-3---5-5---3---5-5---7--|
The pre-chorus and the chorus are then repeated. The bridge then follows.
Once again, I just have how to play the song, and not the exact timing.

The semi-solo (octave-playing) follows the bridge.

And that's about all.
