Real World Tab

Here is my tab for Matchbox 20's new song "Real World" Matchbox 20 "Real World" Yourself Or Someone Like You Written By Rob Thomas and some other guys.... Tabbed by: Lane Haygood This is a very shaky tab. Corrections please (lane@wtaccess.com) Riff A: Gtr 1: med. dist e|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|-----------------------------| D|-----------------------------| A|----11---8---8-11-11-8--11---| =4x E|-----------------------------| I'm not real sure about that. It's the catchy litte intro riff and it's been giving me fits. Verse: Rhy. Fig 1 Gtr 2: distortion A#5 F5 G5 F5 e|--|-----------------------------| B|--|-----------------------------| G|3-|-----------------------------| D|3-|-3--3-5---5--5-3-------------| A|1-|-3--3-3---5--5-3-------------| E|--|-1--1-3---3--3-1-------------| {repeat 2nd measure for verse}

Verse lyrics: 1st: I .. I wonder .. The rain.......yeah... 2nd: (I .. (I ..) (Downtown.......yeah) 3rd: [I .. [I .. I .. Prechorus Gtr 1: (Play at end of Prechorus) Riff B e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------| D|-------------5--5-5-------| A|--------------------------| E|--------------------------| Not real sure 'bout this lead either. Gtr 2: Rhy.

Fig 3 (Yeah....) A#5 G5 F5 Straight ..? A#5 G5 F5 If I .? A#5 G5 F5 Strange, ..? A#5 F5 G5 F5 A#5 I wish ... Riff A (Gtr 1) And ..... Gtr 1: Riff C: A#5 G5 F5 e|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-----15------------------------------| D|---15--15--------17---------15-------| A|-13------13----17--17-----15--15-----| E|-------------15-----15--13------13---| I'm sure about this part here. Whenever Gtr 2 changes chords, so does Gtr 1 playing the arpeggioed major chords here. Then fill Riff A at the end. 2nd chorus: w/riff C (Yeah....) A#5 G5 F5 Straight .. A#5 G5 F5 If I ..? A#5 G5 F5 Strange, ..? A#5 F5 G5 F5 A#5 I wish ... A#5 G5 Please .. F5 A#5 G5 F5 Well .. A#5 G5 Riff A Please .. You.... to me.... yeah...... Solo: Gtr 2 plays A#5 and G5 in the background Gtr 1: (Strum each chord /////) e|---------------------------------------------------| B|-10--13-16-18-14-15-12-16-19-17-13-12-10-10-10-----| G|--9--12-15-17-13-14-11-15-18-16-12-12-10--9--9-----| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| This is a very weak solo attempt. It sounds decent, though, and most people you play for probably won't notice if you play quickly enough. 3rd chorus: w/Riff C (Yeah....) A#5 G5 F5 Straight ..? A#5 G5 F5 If I ..? A#5 G5 F5 Strange..? A#5 F5 G5 F5 A#5 I wish ... A#5 F5 G5 F5 A#5 I ... A#5 F5 G5 F5 A#5 I ... A#5 G5 F5 And you... annnnnnnd me Fills: After the first chorus: Gtr 1: Fill A: e|-------------------------------| B|-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13/---| G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| During the third verse (head honcho) fill: Gtr 3: acoustic The exact strumming is hard to figure out, so I left that to you, but the chords are: G major, A major, F major (Barre F major). Gtr 4: clean w/delay: e|-----------------| B|-7h8h9p8p7-------| G|-----------------| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| Actually, a synth plays this, but this is pretty close. Fill Gtr 3 during the 3rd chorus at: A barred, F barred, G barred. That's my attempt at tabbing this.
