We were always looking for too long With our heads in the clouds, just a little off course But I've left that motor running, so if you're feeling down and out Come on baby drive south.... |E5 |Esus2 |Esus2 |E5 With the one you love --------------- Chords used: E5-022000, A-x02020, D-xx0230 or x57575, A5-x020xx or 577555, B5-x242xx or 799777, Add6-x022xx or 577575, Badd6-244xx or 799797, E/G#-422000, Esus2-022200 The following is the introductory acoustic guitar solo from the Budokan version. Like the song itself, it's very banjo-like, facilitated by the altered tuning. A melody line is played and intermingled with lots of droning notes above it. I have notated the melody line, but not the flurry of open E and B strings above it. I'm not too sure if I'm explained this very well, but listen to the album and you should find it pretty straightforward- just a matter of constantly bashing away at the E and B strings throughout: if it doesn't come naturally, I doubt if a full tab would do any good. The interlude is notated in the same manner. + + pause + + + + + + + + + + + + -0-0-0-0-0---|-------------------|-------------|-------------------| -0-0-0-0-0---|-------------------|-------------|-------------------| -0-0-0-0-0---|/4----/4-----2p0---|/4--2p0--0---|/4--/4---2p0--0-/4-| -0-2-2-0-2---|----------------2p0|-------2-----|------------2(0)---| -0-2-2-0-2---|-------------------|-------------|-------------------| -0-0-0-0-0---|-------------------|-------------|-------------------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |---------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------| |---------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------| |----2p0--0-----|/4--/4---2p0--0-/4-|----2p0--/4-----|/4--/4---2p0--0-/4-| |-------2-------|------------2-0----|-------2--------|------------2-0----| |---------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------| |---------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |---------------|------------|----------------|-------------------| |---------------|------------|----------------|-------------------| |----2p0--0-----|/4-/7-/9---7|-9--7-4------0h2|/4--/4---2p0--0-/4-| |-------2-0-----|------------|----------------|------------2(0)---| |---------------|------------|----------------|-------------------| |---------------|------------|----------------|-------------------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |------------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------| |------------------|-3--3--3-2-0---|------2-0------|-------------------| |---\2p0--0-----2/4|------------/4-|-------------0-|/4--/4---2p0--0-/4-| |-------2----------|---------------|---------------|------------2-0----| |------------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------| |------------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------| + + + + |-------------------|---- |-------------------|---- |----2p0--0---------|---- |-------2---2p0-----|---- |--------------2p0--|---- etc |-----------------3b|-0-- Intro riff: (x2) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-0-----0---------|-----------------|-0-----0---------|-----------------| |-0-----0---------|-----------------|-0-----0---------|-----------------| |-0-----0-------7-|-9---5-7---4-----|-0-----0-------4-|-5---2-4---0-----| |-2-----2---------|-----------------|-2-----2---------|-----------------| |-2-----2---------|-----------------|-2-----2---------|-----------------| |-0-----0---------|-----------------|-0-----0---------|-----------------| Interlude: (x2) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |/7-----4-5---4---|-5-----4-2---4---|/7-----4-5---4---|/5--/5-----2-0---| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| Notation used: + = beat marker p = pull-off / = slide
