Artist: Villagers Song: Set the Tigers Free Album: Becoming a Jackal This is just the acoustic guitar part, the electric part isn't included, but could be easily worked out. I can't name some of the chords at the moment, so if you could leave whatever names you know in a comment, it'd be much appreciated! Standard tuning. The X's on the low E string are percussive slaps made by the thumb of the right hand, at regular time intervals. This string is being muted by either the thumb or another finger that's fretting the chord on the left hand. The chords should be strummed with the rest of your hand. The strumming pattern is DU-slap-DU-slap Intro: e|--0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---| B|--5-5--5-5---3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3---1-1--1-1---| G|--5-5--5-5---4-4--4-4---4-4--4-4---4-4--4-4---| D|--3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3---2-2--2-2---2-2--2-2---| A|--0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---| E|------x----x-----x----x-----x----x-----x----x-| x2 Verse: "Farewell to my only friend, you've been so good to me... e|--0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---| B|--5-5--5-5---3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3---1-1--1-1---| G|--5-5--5-5---4-4--4-4---4-4--4-4---4-4--4-4---| D|--3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3---2-2--2-2---2-2--2-2---| A|--0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---0-0--0-0---| E|------x----x-----x----x-----x----x-----x----x-| (all x2) ...
