Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)
I noticed a lack of tabs for this song... So I decided to give it a shot. Here's my version of
O.A.R.'s That Was A Crazy Game of Poker, live from Madison Square Garden.
*NOTE* I know that this is just the intro (from the beginning to where the song actually
starts) right now, but I plan to more/the rest of it later.
Let's start with Marc Roberge's part, the acoustic guitar:
e|-----------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------| Repeat 8 times, then vocalsG|---------------2-2-----------------| come in. Play again onceD|-------0-2-3-------2-0-----0-2-3---| when band comes in again.A|---3-3-----------------3-3---------|E|-----------------------------------|
The chords played starting at "It was hard for me..."
C5 Bb5 C5 Eb5e|--------------------------------|B|--------------------------------|G|--------------------------------| Repeated throughout keyboardD|---10-8---10-8---10-8---10-13---| solo. Repeat again after upA|---10-8---10-8---10-8---10-13---| until first guitar solo.E|---8--6---8--6---8--6---8--11---|
Guitar Solo 1 (Rhythm Chords):
Cmaj Gmaj Am Fmaje|---8----3----0----1---|B|---8----3----1----1---|G|---9----4----2----2---|D|---10---5----2----3---|A|---10---5----0----3---|E|---8----3----x----1---|
Now for Richard On's part, the electric guitar:
At the beggining, two double-stops:
e|---11\------------|B|---10\-------8b---|G|-------------8b---|D|------------------|A|------------------|E|------------------|
Then the band comes in, and you play Marc's part, but an octave higher:
e|------------------------------------------|B|------------------10-8--------------------|G|---------7-9-10--------9-7-------7-9-10---|D|---10-10-------------------10-10----------|A|------------------------------------------|E|------------------------------------------|
Here are the licks during the first section of vocals:
e|--11----(x8)--------------------13b15-13-11----11~~~------11----11---------------|B|-----10------8b--------------11-------------13---------10----10----10-8b---------|G|-------------8b-------------------------------------------------------8b---------|D|----------------10p8-10~~~-----------------------------------------------10------|A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|---11-11-x-x-x-x-11-11-x-x-x-x-11-11\-------11----(x7)-5b6rb5-3h5p3--------------|B|---10-10-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-10-10\----------10-------------------6-4b---------|G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------5~~~----|D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-----------------------------------------8-------8-----------------x-11-11-x-------|B|---------------------------------------8---11b13---11-11/13~~~---8-x-10-10-x-(x2)--|G|---------3h4h5-------3h4h5~~~----10b12---------------------------8-x-------x-------|D|---3h4h5-------3h4h5---------------------------------------------------------------|A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Quietly play the same as Marc again starting at, "It was hard for me..."
C5 Bb5 C5 Eb5e|--------------------------------|B|--------------------------------|G|--------------------------------| Again, repeat untilD|---10-8---10-8---10-8---10-13---| keyboard solo.A|---10-8---10-8---10-8---10-13---|E|---8--6---8--6---8--6---8--11---|
Now play this about 8 measures into the keyboard solo:
e|--------------------------------------------------|B|------------------------------------------8b------|G|------------------------------------------8b------| Repeat this 4 times,D|-----8-10---8-10---8-10---8-10---8-10--10----10---| until solo ends.A|--------------------------------------------------|E|---8------8------8------8------8------------------|
Now... For Guitar Solo 1:
e|---8-x-8-8---------------------------------------------------------------------|B|---8-x-8-8-5------------------5-8p5------------------------------5-6-8-8~/11---|G|-------------7p5---5~----/5-7-------7-5---4-5----------------5-7---------------|D|-----------------7----7\----------------7-----5~---------5-7-------------------|A|---------------------------------------------------5-7-8-----------------------|E|-------------------------------------------------8-----------------------------|
e|---8-------7-10-8h10h12-8-8-8/10~--------15------------------------13p12-------|B|-----11-11-------------------------15b17~~~~br15p13-15-13-13--13---------13----|G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|---12--------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|------13p12-13p12----12----------------------------------------------5~~-------|G|------------------14----14p12-14p12----12-----------------5~~----5-7-----------|D|------------------------------------14----14-12\------5-7-----/7---------------|A|---------------------------------------------------/7--------------------------|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|---------------------1~~~~~~~~----|B|---8p5----------------1~~~~~~~----| Great solo! That lastG|-------7~------5-------2~~~~~~----| chord is an upstrokedD|----------5-/7---7\-----3~~~~~----| F major.A|-------------------------3~~~~----|E|--------------------------1~~~----|
That's it for now! I'm going to be working on more of the song and adding it later. Looking
ahead to the next update, the verse chords are the same as the rhythm guitar under the first
solo.
Hope this helped, happy playing!!!
