Patent Pending


Heavens, the highly-anticipated reult of Alkaline Trio member Matt Skiba and his roomate from Theives Like Us, is blazing onto the music scene September 12. They've released one song, this one I am about to tab out for you. I heard it and loved so I decided to the entire thing out. I'm happy to let UG have it first. Artist: Heavens Song: Patent Pending Album: To Be Announced Record Label: Epitaph There are two guitars at the begining of this song. The main riff is the first one here, and the second you can hear in the backround over-top: Intro: -------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------|X4 --2-2---4-4---5-5---4-4---7-7---5-4-0--0---------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 2: ---------------------------| ---------------------------| ---------------------------| --12---9~--7--9~---12-14~--| ---------------------------| ---------------------------| Verse: Now, if you've heard the song, you know it's not really just distorted, or even power-chords. So for this section, I don't want you to play ska chords, but i would you to the first note on an upstroke and then continue, hitting the majority of the mutes with downstroke. So when you're hitting the notes, try hitting the G and D strings first. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| --9--X--9--9--X--9--9---X-----7-7------------5--X--5--5--X--5--5--X--5--5----| --9--X--9--9--X--9--9---X-----7-7------------5--X--5--5--X--5--5--X--5--5----| --7--X--7--7--X--7--7---X-----5-5------------3--X--3--3--X--3--3--X--3--3----| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bring your broke bring your broken heart in got a vessel that we've chartered -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| --9--X--9--9--X--9--9---X-----7-7------------5--X--5--5--X--5--5--X--5--5----| --9--X--9--9--X--9--9---X-----7-7------------5--X--5--5--X--5--5--X--5--5----| --7--X--7--7--X--7--7---X-----5-5------------3--X--3--3--X--3--3--X--3--3----| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| In the free, wide-open sea, the two of us duly departed Bring a book with a happy ending, a remix of the message sending Shining clean, this guillotene, not yet approved, patent pending.
