 this is 'time to pretend' by MGMT: 
  
     standard tuning- 
     e 
     B 
     G 
     D 
     A 
     E 
  
 Intro: 
   (sound FX) 
        e|-------------| 
        B|-------------| 
        G|-------------| 
        D|-------------| 
        A|-------------| 
        E|-------------| 
  
  
         (intro riff) 
           guitar 1 (maybe keyboard) 
  
        e|-------------------|-------------------| 
        B|--10---10---10---10|---8---7---8---10--| 
        G|7----7----7----7---|-7---7---7---7-----|   x4 
        D|-------------------|-------------------| 
        A|-------------------|-------------------| 
        E|-------------------|-------------------| 
  
           i also like playing it like this (although its not fully correct 
           it sounds more filling and cool): 
        e|------------------------|---------------------------| 
        B|-------10----------10---|-------10----------10------| 
        G|----11----11----11----11|----12----12----12----12---| 
        D|-12----------12---------|-12----------12------------| 
        A|------------------------|---------------------------| 
        E|------------------------|---------------------------| 
  
  
           guitar 1 repeats 4 times, on the 2nd 
           time this riff joins in: 
  
            (main riff) 
  
        e|-12-10-9-------14-14----| 
        B|---------12-10----------| 
        G|------------------------|    x5 
        D|------------------------| 
        A|------------------------| 
        E|------------------------| 
  
  
 the above riff is played 5 times with guitar 1 behind it. 
 for the second last note of the above riff a D chord is played behind the note on the  
 and 3rd time the riff is played: 
  
        e|--------------| 
        B|--------------| 
        G|----7---------| 
        D|----7---------| 
        A|----5---------| 
        E|--------------| 
             (clean channel) 
  
 on the fifth time of the main riff the 14 on the e string is only played once, these are  
 chords that join in with the heavy fuzz box (or synth.). 
  
        e|---|-------|--------|--------|--------| 
        B|---|-------|--------|--------|--------| 
        G|-7-|---12--|---7----|---7----|---7----| X4 (FROM A G) 
        D|-7-|-7-12--|-7-7----|-7-7----|-7-7----| 
        A|-5-|-7-10--|-7-5----|-7-5----|-7-5----| 
        E|---|-5-----|-5------|-5------|-5------| 
           D   A G      A D      A D      A D 
  
  
 on the 2nd time through these chords on the 
 last A D the lead fills join in: 
  
        e|--17--|-17--19--|--14--|--14--| 
        B|------|---------|------|------| 
        G|------|---------|------|------| X3 
        D|------|---------|------|------| 
        A|------|---------|------|------| 
        E|------|---------|------|------| 
  
  
 ON THE FIFTH TIME OF THE CHORDS, WHEN IT GETS TO THE LAST A D INSTEAD OF PLAYING IT IT  
 TO G ON THE 3RD FRET FOR 4 BARS 
  
        e|----|---|---|---| 
        B|----|---|---|---| 
        G|--12|-12|-12|-12| 
        D|--12|-12|-12|-12| 
        A|--10|-10|-10|-10| 
        E|----|---|---|---| 
            G   G    G  G 
  
 the lead fill behind the chords: 
        e|--17--|--17--|--17--|--17--19--|--14--|--14--| 
        B|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        G|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        D|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        A|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        E|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
  
  
 straight after the 4 bars it jumps straight back to the first set of chords BUT instead  
 playing the A G it goes from D to the A Ds. 
 after the last A D it goes back to the Gs (whole thing repeats 2x). 
  
 after the last time it goes to like a bridge: 
       e|----|----|----|----| 
       B|----|----|----|----| 
       G|-14-|-14-|-11-|-12-| 
       D|-14-|-14-|-11-|-12-| 
       A|-12-|-12-|-9--|-10-| 
       E|----|----|----|----| 
  
 then pretty much goes to the start of the song again (main riff) except for the chords: 
       e|----|-----| 
       B|----|-----| 
       G|-7--|-----|x4 
       D|-7--|--5--| 
       A|-5--|--5--| 
       E|----|--3--| 
  
 with the main riff behind it for nine times BUT on the 9th time only play the 14 on the  
 string once. 
  
 a little pause with sound FX and singing. 
 then the intro riff starts up for 8x with these chords behind it: 
  
      e|------|------||-------|------|------|------| 
      B|------|------||-------|------|------|------| 
      G|---7--|---7--||---12--|---7--|---7--|---7--|x3 (from A G) 
      D|-7-7--|-7-7--||-7-12--|-7-7--|-7-7--|-7-7--| 
      A|-7-5--|-7-5--||-7-10--|-7-5--|-7-5--|-7-5--| 
      E|-5----|-5----||-5-----|-5----|-5----|-5----| 
         A D    A D    A G     A D    A D    A D 
  
 after 5 times of the main riff this riff comes back on: 
  
        e|--17--|-17--19--|--14--|--14--| 
        B|------|---------|------|------| 
        G|------|---------|------|------| X2 
        D|------|---------|------|------| 
        A|------|---------|------|------| 
        E|------|---------|------|------| 
  
  then this riff with the bunch of Gs 
  
        e|--17--|--17--|--17--|--17--19--|--14--|--14--| 
        B|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        G|------|------|------|----------|------|------|x2 
        D|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        A|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
        E|------|------|------|----------|------|------| 
  
 pretty much from then on it repeats from the bridge.
