Down


For the tab, standard tab notation: h=hammer, p=pull, /=slide up, \=slide down, parenthesis for smooth bends (ex: 12(14)12 is a 12 bent up to the pitch of a 14 and then brought back down in one strike), ~=vibrato, and ^ for rough bends (ex: 12^14 12 is a 12 that is bent up to the pitch of a 14, released, and then a 12 is plucked). Got it? Good =) Let's proceed. Numbers above tab indicate apprx. track time. & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 2 3 4 | G* E D A * played as a single note in the low E string Intro: (0:01) (0:05) < > |-------------------------------------------------------| |--12-----------10--------------------------------------| |--11(13)11--9---9(11)9--7--9-----------6--7----9--9--/-| |------------------------------7--7--9------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| (0:06) (0:10) |-------------------------------------------------------| |--12-----------10--------------------------------------| |--11(13)11--9---9(11)9--7--9--9-9-7h9-9-9-7h9-9--/-----| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| (0:11) Repeat 3x(0:14) Repeat 3x(0:17) |----------------------------|--------------|-------------| |--15^17-15--12--------------|-15-----------|-15----------| |---------------14-14--12-14-|-14^16--14^16-|-14(16)14p12-| |----------------------------|--------------|-------------| |----------------------------|--------------|-------------| |----------------------------|--------------|-------------| (0:19) |------------------------| This concludes the intro, |--14-14--12--14~~~\-----| although the first two segments |------------------------| up top are repeated throughout |------------------------| the tune (as you know). |------------------------| |------------------------| Verse 1: G E D A E Take along some of your favorite things D A 'Cause you're gonna need 'em E D Wait right here A Wait 'til I come back around E D You and I will go A E We'll just sit and watch it all go down D A Down Down Verse 2: I was fakin' While you waited for change to come I lied when I said I couldn't stay here anymore When you and I just can't seem to get along You and I both know We'll just wait until it all calms down Down Down Down Down Down Down Main Solo: (1:33) |------------------------------------| |--15^17-15^17-15^17-15~~~15-12-12~--| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| (1:38) |---------------------------------| |--------------------------15-----| |--14p12-14^16-14^16-14^16-14^16--| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |--------|------------------| |--15----|Play this unison--| |--14^16-|bend 4 more times-| |--------|(for a total of 6-| |--------|including the one-| |--------|above)------------| (1:41) (1:42-3) |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-14(16)14p12--14(16)14p12-16p14-12-| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| (1:44-5) |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |--14-14-12h14-14-14-12h14-14-14-12h14-12h14-12h14--| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| (1:47-8) |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |--12-12-----12-14p12-12-12-14^16-14^16-14^16--| |---------14-----------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| (1:50) |----------------------------------------------| |--12-12-/17-17-17-15-17-/19-19-19-20p17-20/22-| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| (1:53) |---------------------------------------------------| |-22-22p20-22*-22-22p20-22p20-22*-22p20-22p20-22^24-| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| Notes marked with "*" are plucked and then quickly muted.
