Cheer It On


SONG: Cheer It On ARTIST: Tokyo Police Club ALBUM: A Lesson in Crime (EP) kingurth@gmail.com Fun, fast, energetic! The best kind! I saw these guys live, they were great. Also, I was them, so I know that this is the fingering he uses. Listen to the recording to get the down. Enjoy! X = Ghost Note (mute the string and pluck it) / = Slide Up No bass until the first chorus. G|---------------------------------------| D|-3-------------------------------------| A|---5---------------------------------0-| E|-----------------------------------3---| When you’re standing there... Do that three times. Then, during the guitar interlude... G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-| E|-----------------------------------------| Play that twice, and the second time you can either cut the last note really short or it ring for the keyboard interlude. G|-----------------| D|-7x7x7x7x8-8-8-8-| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| X3 G|-----------------| D|-----------------| A|-7x7x7x7x8-8-8-8-| E|-----------------| X2 Repeat those two phrases until the chorus comes in again. Then after the chorus, during guitar interlude, play... G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-| E|-----------------------------------------| X2 G|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------| A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| E|---------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-| E|-----------------------------------------| As a nice clincher, you can either cut the last note short, let it ring while the guitar down, or slide down with the guitar. It’s a matter of preference--it sounds great way!
