The Magic Hour tab by DEUS

Tab: The Magic Hour
       By dEUS

Tabbed by Thomas Callens aka Tommy Hendrix
29-06-99

dEUS is a Belgian band from Antwerp (this is where I'm from too)
that is becoming quite famous now thanks to their new album:
"The Ideal Crash", which I partially cotabbed with a guy named=20
"Apeman" (no he's not a loonatic).
"The Magic Hour" is the 4th song on that album.
This is one of the first times I trie to tab a complete song. Usually
I search the tab on the net, but for dEUS y'all won't find anything, so =
here it is.
First of all, you've got to tune down the lowest string 2 steps down
(=AEfrom E to D).
I won't put no lyrics in my tab, so to situe a riff, just look at the =
time indications I'll be givin'.

*0:00>0:32 intro
=20
riff1
e----3-2-0---------------------3-2-0------------------------------
B--0-------0--0-5-3---5-3----0-------0--0-5-3---5-3---5-3---------
G-------------------4-----4-------------------4-----4-------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------

e-----------------------------------------------------------------
B--5-3---5-3---5-3--5-3---5-3---5-3--5-3---5-3---5-3-5-3---5-3----
G------4-----4----------4-----4----------4-----4---------4-----4--
D-----------------------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------

This might not be totally correct, it's very difficult to hear because =
there are 2 guitars playing different things and I think they're using =
E-bows or some other stuff.
Anyway, play this riff twice during the intro and twice during each =
verse.

*0:33>1:04 verse1

Play riff1 twice

*1:05>1:15 chorus

riff2
e----0-2---7-------7----7-----
B--3-----3---7-5-7------8-----
G--------------------7--7-----


Be careful: this sounds like it, but it's not totally correct!!!?!
Once again, this is a very hard song to tab.
Play this thingie twice during the "Godawful I adore you" part.

*1:16>1:47 verse2

Same as verse1, except there's a violin who comes in now.

*1:48>2:03 chorus

Play riff2 twice

*2:04>2:35

Here's a little intermezzo. Don't forget yer lowest string should be=20
tuned to D!!
D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
A--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-

D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---
A--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---
D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---

*2:36>2:46

This is the end of the intermezzo and I really have no fuckin' idea
what this is all about.

*2:47>3:18 verse3

Same as verses 1&2, except on this one there's one guitar more who=20
plays a little pizzicato riff that goes this way:
e----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2---
B--0-----3-0-----3-0-----3-0-----3-------3-------3-------3-------3-
G----------------------------------2-------2-------2-------2-------

*3:19>3:37 chorus

Play riff2 twice

*3:38>3:54

The aspect of the song changes completelly now; no guitars or drum=20
or bass anymore for a while and a heavy contrabas comes in.

*3:55>4:11

A guitar comes back in, but with bass tones.
riff3
e------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------2-----2-----
D--------------------------------------0-----0---------------------
A------2-----2-----3-3-----2-2-------------------------------------
D--2-2---2-2---2-2-----2-2-----2-2-4-4---4-4---4-4-0-0---0-0---0-0-


Play this twice.

*4:12>4:18

Another new riff makes its appearance.
riff4
e--3-0--3-3-0--3--2-----------2-0---
B-----------------3---3---4---------
G-----------------2-----2---2-------

Play this once.

*4:19>4:26

Play riff3 and riff4 together once (for those of you to whom
Mother Nature hasn't been very kind, I mean y'all have to play
them two riffs with TWO guitars).

*4:27>4:58

I haven't figured out this part yet.

*4:59>5:21

Play riff4 another two times, and the song finishes at 5:21.

Well, that's all folks!!
I hope my tab was clear enough and I wish y'all still many hours of
guitarfun!
