Song: Lebanese Blonde
Group: Thievery Corporation
Album: The Mirror Conspiracy (bollocks to the Garden State sndtrk)
Tabbed by: Matt Whiteman
Pay no heed to the lyrics to this song that you will find on Google - whoever
transcribed those must have been deaf or retarded or both. Here are the real
lyrics, with the tab for the synthesizer at the beginning and the chords. You
could do the bulk of the melody on the G and the D strings instead of going
lower (you'll see what I mean when you listen to it), but I think it sounds
more like the synth using only the G string. It's not perfect, but it works.
Standard Tuning
Intro:
(repeat 4X; beat enters on number 3. The notes in brackets are very soft, and
probably a different synth track, play 'em if you want, don't if you don't)
[Am]
Then just the end again once
Pre-chorus: repeat 4X
Chorus
[Am]Too low to find my way[Dm]
[Am]Too high to wond[C]er why[Am]
[Am]I've touched this place befor[Dm]e
[Am]Somewhere in anothe[C]r time[Am]
[Am]Now I can hear the sun[Dm]
[Am]The clouds drifting thro[C]ugh the blinds[Am]
[Am]A half a million t[Dm]houghts
[Am]Are flowing thro[C]ugh my m[Am]ind
The next part sounds like this (but probably isn't)
Let all notes ring, repeat 2X
Then I prefer to do lower chords (repeat this section twice)
[Am] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [Am] [Dm] [Em] [Am]
Verse - Just play soft A chords here and let the bass do the work
A satellite recalled your voice
Sent me round the world again
All the night you've dreamt away
Sent me round my heart again
One touch upon my lips
And all my thoughts are clear
I feel your smoky mist
Up to the stratosphere
Chorus X2 - Lyrics with Synthesized Trumpet blaring, let last chord ring.
The rest is just various repetitions of what's here. Due to the fact that there
are too many layers, tabbing every note would be impossible. Guitars don't work
that way. Deal with it.
