Alive tab by Krewella

This rendition of "Alive" by Krewella is based the version of the song that I watched on
YouTube. It is currently available under the username "KrewellaMusicVEVO".

This song is composed in the key of F# minor. The E major chord repeatedly played
throughout the song could be functioning as a secondary dominant, tonicizing an A major chord.
Thus, it would be a V/III in F# minor. However, F# minor is a disputable key signature.
In its form, the song seems to ambiguously shift between the realm of F# minor and A
major. Suppose for a moment that it's actually composed in the key of A major. Then,
there wouldn't be any foreign chords to analyze. Therefore, it might be considerate to
interpret the chords in the key of A major, while acknowledging the distinctive sonority
it shares with the relative minor key of F#.

In terms of its rhythmic properties, it conventionally utilizes common time (4/4) at a
tempo of approximately 128 beats per minute.

This was tabbed to make it easy for a solo guitarist to play. If this version does not
contain suitable fret patterns, then modifications can be made by the musician at any
time. Otherwise, enjoy the tab!

[CHORD CHART]

x = Omitted string

D(add#11) is a trick chord to play. Version 1 on my chord chart is easier to play for
me, but it requires a huge stretch. Version 2 is extremely difficult to play, but it is
condensed into one region.
