Paid My Dues


**************************************************** Jaded Heart - Paid My Dues (from Heluva Time album) **************************************************** Tabbed by Andy (yalaki) on 8/12/05. (Updated: 8/01/09) This is only the second song I've tabbed (the first being The Rumour by Savatage). This is a really cool song, and as far as I can tell the first Jaded Heart song to be tabbed and put online. Any questions, comments, critisisms, suggestions: yalaki@hotmail.com Make a request and maybe in a few months it'll be done! ******************************************************** Structure: Intro Verse 1 Chorus Bridge Solo Verse 2 Chorus Guitar Solo Bridge Chorus *key change* ->chorus/fade out ******************************************************** ****** Intro: ****** Guitar plays: C#5 - B5 - A5 - B5 - C#5 (keyboard arranged for guitar) e:-----------------------------------------------------| B:--2---------------------------------------2----------| G:----1--------4----------2---2---4---4-------1--------| D:------2--------4-1--------2-------4-----------2------| A:--------4----------2----------------------------4----| E:-----------------------------------------------------| e:-----------------------------------------------------| B:--2---------------------------------------2-----2----| G:----1--------4----------2---2---4---4-------1--------| D:------2--------4-1--------2-------4-----------2------| A:--------4----------2---------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------------| *************** Intro - part 2: *************** Guitars 1 & 2: e:----------------------------|----------------------------| B:----------------------------|----------------------------| G:--\6------4----2---4---6----|---6------4----2---4---6----| D:--\6------4----2---4---6----|---6------4----2---4---6----| A:--\4------2----0---2---4----|---4------2----0---2---4----| E:----------------------------|----------------------------| || e:---21~---19~-------------21~|---21~---19~-------------21~| B:----------------------------|----------------------------| G:-18----16------14--16--18---|-18----16------14--16--18---| D:----------------------------|----------------------------| A:----------------------------|----------------------------| E:----------------------------|----------------------------| ******** Verse 1: ******** "I am knocked down, this is a crazy town..."
