"Straight" by Lincoln from the self-titled album.
Transcribed by Randall Leeds
Totally accoustic, finger picked. Listen to the song for the exact rhythms.
I've done my best to transcribe every note I can but it's unrealistic to
expect
it to be perfect. Use your ears.
Tune down one half step.

After this is a little harmonic run that I can't figure out. If anyone could
do this and submit it or send it to me, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Verse 3:
Same as second verse, but you can start out not picking every note. If you
listen to the song I think he leaves out some notes and then builds it up. If
you want to just play everything though, that of course sounds good.
Pre-chorus and chorus (no interlude):
The second time through the pre-chorus and chorus is the same as the first.
This time, don't play the interlude, but play the outro.
Outro:
Dbsus2Dbsus2 Ebsus2Ebsus2 Dbsus2Dbsus2 Ebsus2Ebsus2
Eb MajorEb|5-------5---|7--------7--|5-------5---|7------10p9-------|
Bb majorBb|5---------5-|7-----------|5---------5-|7-----------12p10-|
GbGb|7-----------|9-----------|7-----------|9-----------------|
DbDb|7-----7-----|9-----------|7-----7-----|9-----------------|
AbAb|5---5-------|7--7-7-7----|5---5-------|7-----------------|
Eb MajorEb|------------|------------|------------|---0-0------------|
Repeat the outro several times and end with a slowly strummed Fm:
F minorFm
Eb MajorEb|2-----------|
Bb majorBb|2-----------|
GbGb|2-----------|
DbDb|4-----------|
AbAb|4-----------|
Eb MajorEb|2-----------|
To summarize, the overall structure of the song is as follows:
Intro
Verse 1 (Lead-in at the end)
Verse 2
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Interlude
Verse 3
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Outro
That's it! If you appreciate this tab, please send me an e-mail and I'll try
to tab out some more Lincoln stuff. No one seems to know this gem of an
album.
