Beer Song ============================================================= ============================================================= Introduction ============================================================= After I tried to look up some Mustard Plug tabs I was bummed that there weren't any, so I decided to tab "Box." And it just took off from there, and I decided to do the whole album instead. Before you go on there are a few notes about this tab. #1.) I don't tab rhythm or strumming patterns out--I'm terrible at it. You should play along with the CD, the songs are easy enough that all you should need are the chords. some tricky parts I tried to tab out the strumming patterns. #2.) This tab is not perfect. Although most of it I feel is correct I am prone to error. If you think something is wrong comment or send me a message. There are a ton of spelling errors, too, but I'm lazy #3.) Most of the chords are simplified. Typically Mustard Plug uses only the top three strings, but once in awhile you can hear notes from the other string. I just tab the top three to make it easier for tabbing. You can fill in the barre chords yourself, if you want to play the full chords For example e|-5- e -5- e -2--| Like wise, |-5- e -5-| B|-7- q -7- q -3--| |-5- q -5-| G|-7- u -7- u -2--| |-6- u -6-| D|--- a -7- a ----| |--- a -7-| A|--- l -5- l ----| |--- l -7-| E|--- s --- s ----| |--- s -5-| #4.) All these tabs are written by me, and I'm putting this up on Ultimate-guitar.com, and sending it to my friends. Anywhere else you see this is a repost, but whatever. What can I do? The only tab I didn't 100% write myself is the tab for "You." That tab is an amalgamation of a tab I saw on here, and from what I've heard on the CD myself. I give credit to the author at the tab itself. ============================================================= Box ============================================================= Intro Strumming not shown.

I mixed and matched parts of other tabs I had found on other sites, and figured other bis out myself. Most of the tab came from the five-star version tabbed by Matt Glover on Ultimate-guitar. I play the verses a little bit differently, but they're the same chords, and I find it easier. I also made a tiny correction in the pre-chorus. Once again, this is NOT MY TAB, credit goes to Matt Glover, I'm just including it in this for completeness.

I generally prefer the first way because it is easier to get to the G5 chord :) e|-----------------------| e|-------------------------------| B|-----------------------| B|-------------------------------| G|-----------------------| o G|-------------------------------| D|---------2-5-5-5-5-4-2-| r D|-------------------------------| A|-5-5-2-5---------------| A|-------------7-10-10-10-10-9-7-| E|-----------------------| E|-10-10--7-10-------------------| e|----------| B|----------| G|----4--2--| D|-5--4--2--| A|-5--2--0--| E|-3--------| Verse e|----7--3--5-| B|-7--7--3--5-| G|-7--8--4--6-| D|-7----------| A|------------| E|------------| Chorus It sounds like there's a slide from G5 to B5--it's really subtle and it may be the bass line that I'm hearing. e|-------| B|-------| G|-------| D|-5--7--| A|-5--7--| E|-3--5--| repeat verse,chorus til the end ============================================================= Dressed Up ============================================================= Intro e|-5--------------| B|-7--(let ring)--| G|-7--------------| D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| Verse Approximate rhythm shown: e|-5-5-8-5-5-5-5-8888-| B|-7-7-8-5-5-5-5-8888-| G|-7-7-9-6-6-6-6-9999-| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|--------------------| Chorus: e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|-------------------| D|-5-5-555--2--22222-| (exact number of muted E5's not shown) A|-5-5-555--2--22222-| E|-3-3-333--0--00000-| PM +++++ Break: e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| E|-5-55-75--3-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-| Repeat verse, chorus, break, chorus, break (order may be wrong-- listen to the cd) The last break adds power chords to it: e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|-7-77-97--5-2-5-2-5-2-5-2-| E|-5-55-75--3-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-| The last time you play it you end on the higher E chord: e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|------------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-| A|-7-77-97--5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| E|-5-55-75--3---------------| ============================================================= Beer Song ============================================================= Intro Yes, he throws a quick D5 chord before the measure repeats e|----------------| B|----------------| G|----10-----8--7-| D|-8--10--5--8--7-| A|-8--8---5--6--5-| E|-6------3-------| e|---------------------|-----------------------| B|---------------------|-----------------------| G|----10-----8--10-8-7-|----10----8-10--12--10-| D|-8--10--5--x--x--x-x-|-8--10--5-x-x---x---x--| A|-8--8---5--6--8--6-5-|-8--8---5-6-8---10--8--| E|-6------3------------|-6------3--------------| Verse/post-chorus: Once again,t here is a very subtle D chord at the end of each measure He slides into it and hits it once before repeating the verse. it's very subtle, so if you don't want to play it just ignore the last chord e|-6--5--3--3--2-| B|-6--6--3--4--3-| G|-7--5--4--3--2-| D|---------------| A|---------------| E|---------------| Chorus: The strumming gets tricky. chords marked with a # are to be strummed e|-------------------|--------------------------| B|-------------------|--------------------------| G|-5-5-7--8-10-10-10-|-5--7--10--10-10-88-77-55-| D|-5-5-7--8-10-10-10-|-5--7--10--10-10-88-77-55-| A|-3-3-5--6-8--8--8--|-3--5--8---8--8--66-55-33-| E|-------------------|--------------------------| # # # # Back to the verse. and chorus.
