Tabs

Song: Still Alive
Artist: Portal/GLaDOS
Composer: Jonathan Coulton
Tabbed By: Chargerfan96


This is the pattern to the acoustic guitar after GLaDOS says, "This was a triumph," and
the song:

  (This was a triumph)        (It's hard to overstate)

e|--------2-----------2-----}------|----------0-----}------------|

G+G|--2-----------4-----------} -----|----2-----------}------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|

And here's the part after the chorus: (This is actually played throughout the rest of
song)

NOTE: At the second and third chorus (marked **), an electric guitar comes in. During
chorus I've written an extra stanza below each phrase. This shows the notes of the chords
the electric guitar. Also, I've also put each word where the chord is played in CAPS, to
it easier to follow along. (x means palm-mute)
