Hey everyone, this will be the first tab I've made. Note that this version of the song tabbing is the rhythm and goes along with the voice of GLaDOS, and is not the chords that Coulton plays. This took me a couple hours to make so I hope it was worth the time :) I separated the acoustic guitar (in the beginning) and GLaDOS' singing by putting the notes in the section below here, then the whole song after it. _____________________________________________________________________________ Song: Still Alive Artist: Portal/GLaDOS Composer: Jonathan Coulton Tabbed By: Chargerfan96 This is the pattern to the acoustic guitar after GLaDOS says, “This was a triumph,” and the song: (This was a triumph…) (It’s hard to overstate…) e|--------2-----------2-----}------|----------0-----}------------| B|-----3-----3-----3-----3--}-x4---|-------2-----2--}-x4---------| G|--2-----------4-----------} -----|----2-----------}------------| D|---------------------------------|-----------------------------| A|---------------------------------|-----------------------------| E|---------------------------------|-----------------------------| And here’s the part after the chorus: (This is actually played throughout the rest of song) e|-----2~-----3--2--0---| B|----------------------| G|--2------2------------| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| NOTE: At the second and third chorus (marked **), an electric guitar comes in. During chorus I’ve written an extra stanza below each phrase. This shows the notes of the chords the electric guitar. Also, I’ve also put each word where the chord is played in CAPS, to it easier to follow along. (x means palm-mute) [INTRO/VERSE 1] This was a tri-umph I’m mak-ing a note here: huge suc-cess e|--3----2--0--0---2---------------3---2--0--0----2-----------0-------------|
