Party Hard tab by Wk Andrew

Tabs

Artist: Andrew W.K.
Title: "Party Hard"
Album: "I Get Wet"

Original tab by: Amar Gogna
Revised by: Chris Clark

Tab: guitar
Tuning: Standard

The original tab submitted by Amar Gogna
didn't quite capture the Slade-meets-Frankenstein scope and grandeur
of this epic stomp. This is the absolute 100% correct version for
those compelled to perform the feel-good hit of this summer.
Downstroke everything with extreme prejudice, and shake head
frenetically as required.

It is not possible to play this song loud enough.

EEEEE BB A augmentedAAA AbAbAbAb F#F#F#F#F# C#C# BB E(7th fret barre) E(open)

After starting on E(open), jump up to B(7th fret barre) and slide
down to A(5th fret barre) for the first part, then use the B(2nd fret
barre) for the second BB after the C#C# and before the Eb. You can slide
the Eb MajorEb up to the E(7th fret barre) for the start of the next line,
but don't lose the rhythm if you head back down to E(open). Watch
out for the tricky jump at the end of the second line.

Verse (same as first line of above)

"You...you work all night..."
EEEEE BB A augmentedAAA AbAbAbAb F#F#F#F#F# C#C# BBBBB Eb MajorEb

(chorus)

Use E(open) and A(5th fret barre)

EEEE AA-Ab-A EEEE F#F# BB E(7th fret barre)

"Party hard..."
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA BB E(7th fret barre)

Use E(open) and A(open)
