#Song : Arousing Thunder
#Artist : Grant Lee Buffalo
#Album : Copperopolis
#Transcribed by : Geoffrey Nickles
#For this song you will need to detune your guitar down
#1/2 a step: eb bb gb db ab eb
#
#The intro of the song is D and Dsus4 with the
#following riff played over the top it four times:
#
[D] [Dsus4] [D]
Then the first verse starts
(with intro riffx2 played over the top)
[Em]Maybe the ra[G]in's holding off,[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D]
Em G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D (I'll just refer
Surely it knows, we're down here to this as
D riff now)
Em G D riff
Walking 'round barefoot lost
[Em]Pretty soon these clouds have got to clea[A]r
[G]I know it's a l[D]ot[A]
[G]Arousing thunder I o[D]nly ask i[A]t to stop
[G]For a second so [D]I could co[A]ax you to talk
(There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)
Em ^ D riff
Em G D riff
Think when we first layed eyes
Em G D riff
Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby
Em G D riff
You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but
You were s[Em]till in school and I was insecure[A]
[G]I know it's a l[D]ot[A]
[G]Arousing thunder [D]I only ask it to st[A]op
[G]For a second so [D]I could coax you to t[A]alk
A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m D riff D riff
About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv, more....more
(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m
the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)
Em G D riff
Looks like the rains holding off
Em G D riff
Might as well take this slow
Em G D riff
You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close
[Em]Then I hear you talking to my [A]soul
[G]Well I know it ain't hal[D]f [A]
[G]of this story I'm on[D]ly m[A]eaning to ask
G D A D riff D riff D riff etc
Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh, To laugh To laugh
Em G D riff
Em G D riff
Em G D riff
Just play G over the following lines
What would it
What would it D
What would it take you to laugh?
Repeat the above twice, then
I'm not too sure on the ending but I'll give it a go
[G] [Em] [Ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [G] [Em] [Ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [G]Na na na na [Em]na na na[D]
Then play D (plus the riff a few times) till
the end.

a-0- a-4-
