------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFESSOR - The Annuals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Alex Worthy Email:azimuth457@gmail.com Just found out there are no tabs for this! Thought I'd send in my thoughts. NOTE: this is based off of the Acoustic duo seen on Youtube from the Paste Magazine studio. The studio recording will differ with extra guitar parts. Tuning:Standard, no capo for both guitars. For starters, the rhythm chords: B*: x2445x Em : 022000 A : x02220 F#m : 24422x <~ that's how he actually plays it, with his thumb on the low E. Play it regularly if you want B2 : x244xx B : x2444x D : xx0232 E : 022100 B* Pack up and leave everyday A I plant the seed to rip the roots away B2 F#m Em And I believe every word you say calls the thunder D and spooks off the pain (yep!) Em And through the windows in the chapel A D Is laying in the morning light Em Every wick and every candle A Is laying in the morning B* I'm here with your dress at night A B2 I confess, I confess, I confess F#m At the hem of your dress Em I confess B To spook off the pain E It's when I always catch you laughing B At the cusp of everyday E It's when I always catch you grinning It suits you well B* - A - B2 - F#m - Em - D <~ This D he plays differently. Refer below to see how. At this point the chorus is repeated(twice), and the song ends on D. e|--2-0-2-3-2-0-2-0-2-0-2-3-2-0-2-0-----| B|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----| G|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----| D|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----| A|--------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------| Guitar 2, for those interested: Verse: e|---0--0--0--0--0--0----2--2--2--2--2--2-----------------------------------------------| B|-----2--2--2--2--2--2h4--4--4--4--4--4--------2-3-2-----------------------------------| G|----4--4--4--4--4--4----4--4--4--4--4---2p1h2-2-2-2-------4-------4-------4-------4---| D|----------------------------------------2-----2-2-2--1h2h4-2-1-2h4-2-1-2h4-2-1-2h4-2-1| A|----------------------------------------------0-0-0-----------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| At this part, basically just strum~^ After that line, strum F#m and Em, and then play the chorus: It's actually sorta strummed, but to help you figure out how, pick the following notes very carefully, and then start making it sloppy, so you hit other notes at the same time. e|-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---7---7---7---7---7---7-10-9-7------| B|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---8---8---8---8---8---8----------10-8-| G|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9-9-9--9-9| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| The Verse repeats, followed by what is sort-of a bridge I guess; e|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------7---------------7----------------------------------| G|--8-868-868-8-6-4/8-868-868-8-8-6-4-----------------------------| D|-----------------------------------66666-6h7-77-6-4------4------|x2 A|----------------------------------------------------7p6-7-7p6---| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| Solo: Starts off at 4 because that's where your index should be anyways from the bridge. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----11-----9p8------9-9p8------------------------------------------------------| D|--4/9------9---9----9-----9------9-7-676-464-----7-6-464-4----------------------| A|--------7h9------7h9-------9-9-7------------4446--------7-7-777679-555----------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------7---7p5-5~3~2~| The Chorus part plays again, except on the B string, he hammers 7h8 with his pinky occasionally. The song ends there. That's pretty much it.
