Artist: A Flock of Seagulls Song: I Ran Tuning: Standard Transcribed by: John D. # of Guitars: 1 I have seen only a few tabs for this song on the internet and they are horrendously I have played it live a few times, so I trust its accuracy. This is an absolutely great song very cool to play with a bunch of people. Please rate this tab, and give any comments where you see fit. b= bend half step bH= bend whole step /= slide up \= slide down h= hammer on p= pull off At the beginning some werid seagull sounds are made by turning on the delay to 350 (I am not sure on how much feedback, but you can estimate pretty close) and pick scraping the 2nd and 3rd strings repeatedly. (With a delay set at 350 milliseconds) Intro e ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| B ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| G 9-(let ring)---|19-------------|9--------------|19-------------| D 7--------------|17-------------|7--------------|17-------------| A ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| (Delay Off) Pre-Verse e ---------------|---------------|---------------|-------| B ---------------|---------------|---------------|-------| G ---------------|---------------|---------------|-------| D 3--------------|5--------------|7-(let ring)---|-------| A 3--------------|5--------------|7--------------|-------| E 1--------------|3--------------|5--------------|-------| Verse (1) (Very quick lick) e 0-0-0---|---------------0-0-0--|----------------0-0-0--|--------------------------|---------------| B ------3-|---------------------3|----------------------3|--------------------------|---------------| G --------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0|-0----5---5-8/9| D --------|------2-2-------------|------2-2--------------|------0-0-----0-0-----0-0-|--5h7---7------| A --------|----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------|---------------| E --------|----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------|---------------| e 0-0-0---|---------------0-0-0--|----------------0-0-0--|----------------------------| B ------3-|---------------------3|----------------------3|----------------------------| G --------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0| D --------|------2-2-------------|------2-2--------------|------0-0-----0-0-----0-0---| A --------|----------------------|-----------------------|----------------------------| E --------|----------------------|-----------------------|----------------------------| Chorus e --------------------------------| B --------------------------------| G -7-9-7-5---5-7-5-7-9-9-77-5-7-55| D ---------7----------------------| A --------------------------------| E --------------------------------| Solo (1) e 5-5-5-5-5--3-5-|--5-5-5-5-55--5|3-3---3--5/7---7-|-7-5-5-3-5--55-5-5-5-3-3---3---| B ---------------|---------------|----5------------|-------------------------5-----| G ---------------|---------------|-----------------|----------------------------2/9| D ---------------|---------------|-----------------|-------------------------------| A ---------------|---------------|-----------------|-------------------------------| E ---------------|---------------|-----------------|-------------------------------| e -10-8------8----8|-10/12-12-10-10|-8--10--8-10-12|-10-8---------8----8-10/12-12-10-10-8-10-| B --------10---10--|---------------|---------------|------10---10---10-----------------------| G -----------------|---------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------| D -----------------|---------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------| A -----------------|---------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------| E -----------------|---------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------| Verse (2) (Similar to intro, with delay at 350 milliseconds) (Turn off delay for this lick) e ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| B ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| G 9--------------|-9-------------|19---19---19---|------5---5-8/9| D 7--------------|-7-------------|17---17---17---|--5h7---7------| A ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E ---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| e 0-0-0---|---------------0-0-0--|----------------0-0-0--|----------------------------| B ------3-|---------------------3|----------------------3|----------------------------| G --------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0| D --------|------2-2-------------|------2-2--------------|------0-0-----0-0-----0-0---| A --------|----------------------|-----------------------|----------------------------| E --------|----------------------|-----------------------|----------------------------| Solo (2) (only on the high e string) e 12-12|13-12-10--12-13-12-10--12-13-12-10--12-13-12-10--13-12-10--12-13-12-10--12-13-12-10--12-13-12-10-- e 12-12|13-13-12-12-10-10-12-12-13-13-12-12-10-10-12-12-13-13-12-12-10-10-12-12-13-13-12-12-10-10-12-12 e 13-13-12-12-10--8-10--8-10--12-12-10-10-8-10 Intro Pre-Verse Verse 1 Chorus x2 Intro Verse (1) Chorus x2 (4 measure rest for drum solo) Solo Verse (2) Chorus x2 Solo (2) End with the very beginning 9-7 chord (with delay) If you have any question email kane171@yahoo.com It is not checked often but I will get it.
