Tabs

Title: Iris
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls
Album: Dizzy Up the Girl
Tabbed By: Renz Edward "AnGeLs_BrEaTh" Sui
Version: 1.0

Tuning:

Guitar 1(Rzeznik's Part)BDDDDD O_o?
Guitar 2(Mandolin) Complete Tab on Next Version In Fact I haven't seen a
mandolin myself:P
Guitar 3(Distortion)Standard Tuning
Bass = Standard

Ok so for the tuning you tune the Low E MajorE down to BB next is the A augmentedA down to D, D MajorD
remains the same, G+G tuned down to D, BB up to D MajorD (Careful on this string as it
may snap off, if problem persist replace a high E MajorE string) E MajorE down to D. Ya
need a tuner or a keyboard instrument to tune this accurately. But for me I
just do it by ear. Dream on kiddo! heheh jk. ya can do it too, it just take
practice! try octaving the Standard D MajorD with the other string and you should
have no problem, just be sharp on your ear.

This is my arrangement of the song so It's not guaranteed 100% accurate. But
I guarantee you that it will sound alike

🏷Legend

h = Hammer on
/ = Slide
x = Mute
~ = vibrato
