As much as i hate to admit it, i love this cover.
Its good to play because people recognise it too.
Couldn't find a tab, so after hours of studying the video - Here you all go.
Standard tuning,
Guitars 1,2 and Three.
Guitar 1 - Palm Muted - This is the backing throughout the majority of the song. Its in bars of 8 - Play with or without the G string - whichever you think sounds better.E|---------------------------------------------------------|A|---------------------------------------------------------|D|---00000000---00000000---00000000---00000000-------------|G|---00000000---00000000---00000000---00000000-------------|B|---33333333---33333333---33333333---33333333-------------|e|---33333333---33333333---33333333---33333333-------------|
Guitar 2 - Comes in after 16 bars. Kinda palm muted/Harmonics
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|A|---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------12-12-12-12-12-12-9-9-10-10-10-10-10-10--|D|---------------------------12-12------------------------------------------|G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Cont.E|-------------------------------------------|A|----------12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12----------|D|----12-12----------------------------------|G|-------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------| Repeat.e|-------------------------------------------|This covers (Every note relates to a word to keep your timing) :I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, and now you're in my way I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way
When the bridge comes, Guitar 2 changes to the same riff but lower down:E|----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----4-4-4-4-4-4-----2-2-2-2-2-2-----4-4-4-4-4-4------|A|--------------------4-4-------------1-1-------------4-4------------------|D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|Still with guitar 1 in the background - This covers:Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby?
Chorus:
Guitar 1 carrys on the backing rythem after the pause...
Guitar 2(Its just power chords- You know, the ones you use to play EVERY Green day song):
E|--2-----4-4----2-2----4-4---------------|A|--4---4-6-6-1--4-4--4-6-6---------------|D|--4---6-6-6-3--4-4--6-6-6---------------|G|------6-----3-------6-------------------|B|----------------------------------------|e|----------------------------------------|
(The Rythem backing for this is actually done by Guitar 3 while guitar 1 does some
strange fingertapping which cant be heard - So its not needed.Lets keep it simple
people - Guitar two also changed from using the powerchord at 1 To 6 But they
sound the same.)
3 8
3 8
My favourite bit... The chorus...Outro?
Guitar 1 rythm again.
Guitar 2 straight out of the last chord:E|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------|A|--------------------------------------------------------|D|--------------------------------------------------------|G|--------------------------------------------------------|B|--------------------------------------------------------|e|--------------------------------------------------------|
Cont...E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|A|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-----10-10-10-10-10-10-|D|--------------------------------------------------9-9-------------------|G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Cont...E|-----------------------------------------|A|---------12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---------|D|---12-12---------------------------------|G|-----------------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------------|e|-----------------------------------------|
Repeat again and during the third time, Guitar one does something different for once...:
Guitar 1: ?E|----------------------------------|A|---3------------------------------|D|---3-----6------12----12----------|G|---2-----8------14----14----------|B|---1-----9------14----15----------|e|----------------------------------|This bits a bit messy and you can hear him play a few wrong notes, so improvise on the above. I know the last three bits are right, you work out the rythem.
Repeat the chorus...
Then you get to this bit..
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad I missed you so bad I missed you
so, so bad Before you came into my life I missed you so bad And you should know
that I missed you so, so bad
Which is as follows:Guitar 2 Plays the chorus power chords,Guitar 1:E|----------------------------------|A|----------------12-12--12-14-10---|D|----12-12-12-12-14-14--14-16-12---|G|----14-14-14-14-14-14--14-16-12---|B|----15-15-14-14-------------------|e|----------------------------------|
Guitar three harmonics (Slightly like the into to sweet child of mine?):E|---------------------10----------------------10--|A|------12----------10-----8-----12----------10----|D|---12---------12------------12----------12-------|G|---12------14---------------12-------14----------|B|--------15------------------------15-------------|e|-------------------------------------------------|
Emjoy!
