---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT'S SO DAMN EASY - My Vitriol ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Luke Rounda Email: luke@notus.com Standard Tuning (E A D G B e) I've tried to show the rhythm chords above the lead parts written in tab. There's a lot of doubling going on in this song (ie. the lead guitar is reinforcing Som's vocal melody a lot). Most of it is pretty simple to do; just pick out the root note of the chord being played and drone it an octave higher with lots of chorus, phaser and delay. Easier said than done eh? Well, this is a pretty good start I think. It's all the main bits. What isn't shown, make up. It'll sound fine. intro (approximate) e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------<5>---------<5>-----------------------| G|------------------------------------<5>---<5>--------------------------| D|--------------------------------------(<5>)----------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-----------------------------------------| trem-picked riff #1 F5 A5 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-2-2-0-2//9-0h2-2-2-0-2//9-/4-4-4-4b5-0-4-4-4-4h5p4-0------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| riff #2 C5* D5 F5 e|--7-----7-----------------------------------| "And none of us are gone, B|----8-----8----8--------------(7)-----(10)--| you're in my heart G|------9-----9----9-------------7-------10---| and my..."
