The Carpet Crawlers tab by Genesis

Tabs

Hey, this is my first Tab and one of my fav songs!

The song is basically D MajorD and E minorEm on the verses and it, though it can be strumed,
sounds good when you play it like this.

  D MajorD         E minorEm
e|---3--3--3--3--3--3--------------|  You should listen to the song
b|----2--2--2--2--2----------------|  and try that against it. Played
g|---------------------0--0--0--0--| at a paced speed it should work!
d|--0--0--0--0--0--0----2--2--2--2-|  Also use your fingers it helps!
a|--------------------2--2--2--2---|
E MajorE|---------------------------------|

The chorus is another story I can't see the finger picking working for a beginner
but try it on these chords. It works it just sounds strange if not worked on.

F# minorF#m
The carpet crawlers heed their callers
A augmentedA             G+G     A augmentedA
You got to get in to get ou - - -t

B minorBm         C majorC        D MajorD
You got to get in to get ou - - -t

  F# minorF#m A augmentedA G+G B minorBm D MajorD
e|---------3--2--2--|
b|--2---2--3--3--3--|
g|--2---2--0--4--2--|
d|--4---2--0--4--0--|
a|--4---0--2--2-----|
E MajorE|--2------3--------|

Now here is the bit everyone loves about this song. The Steve Hackett bit when
it gets to, "You gotta get in to get out".

Also remember I have figured this out through the live versions but can be put
in the studio one just as easily.

e|--15vvvv-15B-13-12-13-15vvvv-15b-13-15-12-10-12-12b-10-8-10/12\10--|
b|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
g|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
d|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
a|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Thank you very much for trying this tab. I doubt there are many with the Steve Hackett
bit but if you watch the video of Genesis Live zyou'll see how it done. Once again thank you.
