Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

I was looking at the other tabs, and the few that had it in the correct
tuning, had it very difficult, and I don't think it's that hard. So I've
created a tab complete with all the timing nad rhythms that sounds great
(and is more correct than the others I believe) and is quite easy to play.
Hope you like it, please enjoy.

Any questions, comments, questions, crises, etc.: [email protected]

====================================================================
|IF YOU JUST WANT THE WORDS AND THE CHORDS, SCROLL TO THE VERY BOTTOM|
====================================================================

*Play this chord only the 2nd time
**the word is "screams" instead of "tells" the 2nd time

DADF#DD tuning, down 1/2 step, so low to high, the tuning is
[Db-Ab-Db-F-Db-Db]

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Key Key Key|
+---+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ^ | downbeat |
| / | slide (move finger from 1st fret to 2nd w/o letting go) |
|(#)| harmonic (barely touch string just above numbered fret and strum)|
+---+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Here is the timing for the Intro and the Verse. "/" represents a slide and
"^" was placed under the downbeat (each "-" is a 32nd of the measure). Tempo
is about a quarter note equals 90 Beat Per Measure.

[Intro]

Db+--------------------------------|--------------------------------+
Db|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
F |--------3---0-----------3---0---|--------3---0---1---0-----------|
Db|--------------------0-----------|----0-------------------2-/-4---|
Ab|----0-----------4---------------|2-------------------------------|
Db+0-------------------------------|--------------------------------+x2
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^


[Verse]

(I have shortened the Chords names to better fit, so when seen below with the
words, refer [D to D] (duh), [Dmaj7 to D7], [Bm/D to BD], [Dsus4 to D4],
[Dadd2 to D2], and [2D is just a variation of D]):

D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
Db+0-------0---0---0-------0---0---|0-------0---0---0---0---0---0---+
Db|0-------0---0---0-------0---0---|0-------0---0---0---0---0---0---|
F |0-------0---0---0-------0---0---|0-------0---0---1---0---0---0---|
Db|0-------0---0---0-------0---0---|0-------0---0---0---0---2---4---|
Ab|0-------0---0---4-------4---4---|2-------2---2---0---0---0---0---|
Db+0-------0---0---0-------0---0---|0-------0---0---0---0---0---0---+x6
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

NOTE: Where the fist letter of the chord is is about where the chord starts
in relationship to the word(s). Get the strumming and timing down and listen
to the song if you are struggling with where the words go, but this should
really help.

D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
I heard about your trip.
D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
I heard about your souvenirs.
D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
I heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights and the cool
D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
guys that you spent them with.
D D7 DB D4 D D2 2D
I guess I should have heard of them from you.
D D7 DB D4 D D2 2D
I guess I should have heard of them from you.


[Chorus]

NOTE: Once again, I have shortened chords, therefore, [D is still D], [Add4/E
is AE], and [G/D is GD]:
(for AE and GD, the low Db gives it a bad ring and doesn't sound good because
it's a good amount away from any of the other notes)



CHORUS GOES LIKE SO:

BOXED PART x2
KISS ME HARD PART WITH HARMONICS x1
BOXED PART x5

[Verse]

Same rule of ryhtm apply as in Verse 1, but I've put in the words so you can
see where they line up with the words:

D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
I heard about your regrets.
D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
I heard from someone that you wish you could
D D7 BD D4 D D2 2D
set things right between us.
D D7 DB D4 D D2 2D
Well, I guess I should have heard of them from you.
D D7 DB D4 D D2 2D
I guess I should have heard of them from you.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[Chorus]
(But use 2nd Ending)

=============================================================================

[Outro]

NOTE: [DXII is DX], [Dmaj7 is D7], [D6 is D6], [A7sus4/D is A7D], [A/D is AD]
Play every note hard and short. It's an easy and straight-forward rhthym.
