-------------------------------------------------------------------- OWEN - Never Meant -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kody Warriner, November 25, 2009 E-mail: kjwacoustics@hotmail.com Tuning: D# G D F A# D I know there's another tab posted for this song on this site with a five star rating. However, I'm 100% sure the tuning structure and tablature are very inaccurate. I spent a few hours correcting that tab and came up with this, which I'm sure is nearly correct. It's a great song, enjoy!**Written by Mike Kinsella (Owen) for 'American Football' in 1999** [Verse] [1] D |----------3-----------3--------------1----------| A#|-----------4-----------2---------------4--------| F |------------5----------------------------2------| D |------------------------------------------------| G |------------------------------0-------------(5)-| D#|--0--------------2---------------------------2--| [Breakdown 1 goodbyes] [2] D |-0-------7--7-------8-----------3--| A#|-0-----4--4-------4---4--4------0--| F |-2----5---------5------5--------2--| D |-0------------0-----------------0--| G |-0------------------------------0--| D#|-0------------------------------0--| [Fade back to Chorus] [3] D |-------3-1-0-----------3--1--0------| A#|---0---------0------0-----------0---| F |-2----------------0-----------------| D |------------------------------------| G |------------------------------------| D#|------------------------------------| D |-------3-1-0-------------3--1--0----| A#|----0---------0------0-----------0--| F |--2----------------0----------------| D |------------------------------------| G |--0----0---0------------------------| D#|-------------------2-----2-----2----| [Faster overly dramatic riff] [4] D |---------------3------0-------------------0---------------| A#|------4p5p4p0--0---4---4------4-4--------4-4p0------4-4---| F |----5----------0--5-5---5----7-5-5------5----------7-5-5--| D |---5-----------------------------------0------------------| G |---------------3------------------------------------------| D#|-0-------------------------0---------4-----------0--------| D |--------0---------------------| A#|-----4---4----------4p5p4p0---| F |----5-5---5--------5----------| D |------------------5-----------| G |------------------------------| D#|-4-------------2--------------| [Break down 2 lets just pretend] [5] D |-------------------------------------------------------0(3)-| A#|-------0-----------0----------0---------0----------0--------| F |-----0-----------0----------0---------0---------0---0-------| D |-----------------------------------------------0-0---0------| G |--3-----------5----------8---------7------------------------| D#|--------------------------------------------4---------------| p = pull off/on (x)= optional note, fun to switch up etc. The song break down structure in bars/lyrics is as follows: [1] x4 let's just forget everything said and everything we did best friends, better halves [2] x4 goodbyes and the autumn night when we realized we were falling out of love [3] x4 (long bars) [4] x6 the last thing you want to be is overly dramatic I just think it's best cause you can't miss what you forget [5] x4 so let's just pretend everything and anything between you and me was never meant [1] x12 was never meant ---------------------------------END
