------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOLS - The Dodos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:jimmy5150 Email:jimmy5150@gmail.com Tuning:Down one Half a step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb) CAPO ON THE FIFTH FRET Merric uses a lot of alternate and open tunings on this album that are hard to figure by ear, so I am sure this is not 100% accurate but there are no tabs out for this song so I figure I'd my 2 cents out there. In the music video he is using a capo on the 6th fret but in my version it's on the fret, so it's not exactly what he plays but it sounds fine. ALL CHORDS AND RIFFS ARE WRITTEN RELATIVE TO THE CAPO ON 5 opening chord (can't really write the exact rhythm, pretty easy to figure out if you to the record) eb|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-x--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-1--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Singing starts "our fathers have been... eb|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-x--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-1--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| "He's Been eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| "Squandering..." eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-1--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Repeat that rhythm with the chord changes for the verse Chorus "Fools...Fools..." It sounds cool fingerpicked but if you are using a pick for the chords above it will still sound fine if you don't hit the bottom string. eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|---0------0------0---------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-----1------1------1-1h2-1h2-----------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-0-----0------0------------------------------------------------------------| Post-Chorus guitar freakout eb|-----------------------4-4--4-4-----4-4-4-4----4-4-4-4---4-4--------------------| Bb|-----------------------5-5--5-5-----5-5-5-5----5-5-5-5---5-5--------------------| Gb|---6-6-6-6---6-6-6-6---4-4--4-4-----4-4-4-4----4-4-4-4---4-4--7-7-7-8-8-8-9-9---| Db|---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---6-6--6-6-----6-6-6-6----6-6-6-6---6-6--------------------|x2 Ab|---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---7-7--7-7-----7-7-7-7----7-7-7-7---7-7--5-5-5-6-6-6-7-7---| Eb|-0---------0----------------------0---------0-----------------------------------| post freakout verse (same rhythm as first verse, but different chords) eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-2-------------------2-----------------------------------------------------| Gb|-1-------------------2-----------------------------------------------------| Db|-2-----4-------------2-----------------------------------------------------| Ab|-0-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-------2-------------2-----------------------------------------------------| Outro "I've been, I've been silent" eb|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-1--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
