Blue Oyster Cult – Dont Fear The Reaper tab
Chords:
Tabbed by: Talflick Email: talek_cornish@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Here's a kick at the can, cause none of the chords worked for me on this site so far, this song anyway. I once doubled rhythym guitar when a band was covering this, I made it pretty much, but it sounds alright if you play it along with The Essential B.O.C. Album. is my first tab so bear with me.Intro : Rhythym fill...e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|---2-0----0----0----0---2-0----0----0------------------------------------|D|--2------0----0----0---2------0----0-------------------------------------|A|-0------2----3----2---0------2----3--------------------------------------|E|-------3----1----3----------3----1---------------------------------------|That's the main rhythym. It took me a while to figure out, not sure about the 1 3 0 0,last 0 might be something else, but you can change that how you like. That's the littlebit. Once the drum fill comes in, hit a 'G' chord, something like.. 355433, from Bottom up.Then the structure looks like this:Am G F G Am G G It's really simple from then on in. You can double the rhythym line too, but if you're along, it's kinda tough to keep the thing going right. Am G F G Am G G All our times have come Am G F G Am G G Here but now they're gone F G Am (Am7 if you like it better, I do :P) Seasons don't fear the reaper (Am) F G Am F Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are) G Am G F Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) (F) G Am G F Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) (F) G Am G F We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) (F) G Am G F G Baby I'm your man Am G F G Am G F G La-la-la-la-la Am G F G Am G F G La-la-la-la-la Am G F G Am G F G Valentine is done Am G F G Am G G Here but now they're gone F G Am Am Romeo and Juliet (Am) F G Am G (thats the F in the next line...) Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) F G Am G (see above) 40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet) F G Am G F 40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness) F G Am (Am) G F Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are) G Am G F Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) (F) G Am G F Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) (F) G Am G F We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) (F) G Am G F G Baby I'm your man Am G F G Am G F G La-la-la-la-la Am G F G Am G F G La-la-la-la-la Am (let ring & fade) (OK Kids, Here's the hard part. Wicked-ass solo, Tabbed in some other section. The background chords, are something like this when they're in) F - G - Cm (?) - G - F - G - Cm (?) - G (I cant find anything better than that C minor, when you've got the full distortion on, sounds fine, but if you get a chord thats better, Please Email) Then it fades... and you get your Rhythym Fill again.. Am G F G Am G F G Am G G Love of two is one Am G F G Am G G Here but now they're gone F G Am G (Start doing all upstrokes until 'Come on') Came the last night of sadness (G) F G Am G And it was clear that she couldn't go on (G) F G Am G Then the door was open and the wind appeared (G) F G Am G The candles blew out and disappeared (G) F G Am F The curtains flew and then he appeared (saying don't be afraid) G Am G F Come on baby (and she had no fear) (F) G Am G F And she ran to him (then they started to fly) (F) G Am G F They looked backwards and said goodbye (she had become like they are) (F) G Am G F She had taken his hand (she had become like they are) G Am G F G Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Am G F G Am G F G I love that bass riff at the end.
