I Am The Resurrection Tab by The Stone Roses

I Am The Resurrection tab by The Stone Roses

Guitar Tab

No guitar during the intro/first verse.

Pre-Chorus: (0:43)
"Don't waste your words..."

The last bar is actually the beginning of another guitar part. With two guitars I'd end this bit with a C#
on the 6th string and just let the other guitar take the chords.

                                    G#m                               G#m

Verse: (0:59)
"Turn, turn, I wish you'd learn..."

There are actually two guitars in this section: one strumming triads and the other doing the more melodic
bits. With two guitars you'd definitely separate this into two parts but this tab sort of covers both. If
you're struggling with the A chord you can get away with just playing an open A chord and hammering on on
the B string (then just play an open E chord).

Pre-Chorus: (2:06)
"Don't waste your words..."

Two things to notice here: the F#sus4 chords mixed in with the F# chords, and the last part of the melody
has been moved up an octave. Also, if you're playing this with one guitar, jump straight into the chords
after the final note (the last note is E so you can use it as a root note).

                                    G#m                               G#m

Chorus: (2:23)
"I am the resurrection..." (also 2:59)

E        E            B            B
I am the resurrection and I am the life

  E             E               B
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd...

Bridge: (2:36)
"... li-i-ike!"

Again, jump straight into the chords if you're playing with one guitar.

Bridge: (3:11)
"... li-i-ike!"
The medlody here is just a variation on the one at 0:43/2:06. A lot of the time it's sort of lost in the
mix so I can't really tell if this is right. Regardless, it sounds fine.
