Either Way


"Either Way" by Guster This is an awesome song by an awesome group. I have taken many guitar tabs from many different sites and I thought it was time I gave a little back, especially since this site doesn't have any Guster tabs yet. This is my first attempt, so feel free to make any corrections. Thanks, ~Angel~ Intro and Verse Chords: e:----7---------6-----0--------| B:----7--------6-----0---------| G:----9--------9-----9---- ----| D:----9--------9-----9---- ----| A:----7--------6-----0---------| E:---(0)-------X-----0---- ----| 1x Intro Verse 1: You were almost kind You were almost true Don't let me see that other side of you You have learned in time That you must be cruel I'll have to wait to get the best of you Chorus: F#m B e:----2-----2---- ---| B:----2-----2---------| G:----2-----4---- ----| D:----4-----4---- ----| A:----4-----2---------| E:----2-----2---- ----| Chorus: Poison in everything you say Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make... [Verse Chords] Either way? Verse 2: You were almost kind You were almost true Why give away that other side of you? Happens everytime So it must be true Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you [Repeat Chorus] [Verse Chords] Voice 1: Either way? Either way? Voice 2: (underneath) Were you ever kind? Were you always cruel? Who's ever seen that other side of you? Happened everytime So it must be true Where did you learn it's either him or you? Solo (the way I play it...): You'll have to listen to the CD to get the rhythm exactly right, these are just the notes. There are basically 4 parts, one after the other. Part 1: e:--------------------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------------| B:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| G:----13--13--11--11--11-|-13--13--11--11--11--9-|-11--11--9--9--9--4-----4--6--4--------------| D:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| A:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| E:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| Part 2: e:--------------------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------------| B:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| G:----13--13--11--11--11-|-13--13--11--11--11--9-|-11--11--9--9--13--4-----4--6--4-------------| D:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| A:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| E:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------| Part 3: e:----------------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------| B:----------------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------| G:----16--14--13--11----|-16--14--13--9---|-16--14--13--11----|-16--14--13--9----| D:----------------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------| A:----------------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------| E:----------------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------| Part 4: e:---------------7---------7---------7----7-|-----------7---------7---------7-----7------| B:----5--5--5------5--5------5--5-----5-----|-4--4--4------4--4------4--4-----4----------| G:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| D:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| A:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| E:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| e:---------------7---------7---------7----7-|-----------7---------7---------7-----7------| B:------------------------------------------|-0--0--0------0--0------0--0-----0----------| G:----6--6--6------6--6------6--6------6----|--------------------------------------------| D:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| A:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| E:------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| *In the real version a violin plays part 3 starting at the beginning of part 2, and the guitar plays an adaptation of part 4 underneath starting at part 3 (not as confusing as it sounds-- listen to the cd!) If you have a violin handy (and someone who can play it) this works well, if not this version is a good alternative. For those of you who want it, here is the violin tab: Part 3 for violin (played during parts 2-4) E:--------------------------------------| A:----1--0------------1-0---------------| D:----------3#-2#-----------3#--1-------| G:--------------------------------------| [Repeat Verse 1] [Repeat Chorus] [Verse Chords] Either way?
