Grown So Ugly
by: The Black Keys
Rubber Factory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard
Ver 2 was pretty well done, but very incomplete. The main riff was off a little bit,
as were several other parts. Most notably, the solo wasn't completely tabbed and it
wasn't noted that there is a low E bass-line present in a few spots.
The main riff is a little tricky to get down, so I'll explain it in more detail here
The first five notes are pretty straight forward. I pick the D string with my thumb
and the G string with my pointer finger. Then, I stroke down with my thumb hitting
the low E in the process. I immediately stroke up on the E major chord, mute it.
Then, with my thumb I stroke up quickly on open E A D strings and play the two
notes on the low E string. Then with my pointer finger nail I downstroke the
E maj chord twice, muting after each stroke.

I got up this mornin'
Put on my shoes
Tied my shoes
Went to the mirror
I didn't comb my hair
I made a move
Didn't no what to do
Tried to break and run
