ok so i found this little intro part by accident some time ago and i wanted to learn the
rest but like 66% of tabs online are actual whack so i decided to try doing my own tab
version based on other tabs and like, live performance for harder it was to find a
decent video of them playing live. it seems to me j uses a capo on 8th fret or something, but
it really sounds proper to me to use it on 3rd, so keep that in mind. the tab below is
respective to the capo, since there's more than one way to play it apparently.
---Intro part---
(---- 1 beat)
[Csus4] [G]
e|-3~~~~~~~3~~~3~~~0~~~~~~~0-3-5-3-0~~~3~~~~~~~3~~~3~~~----------3-5-3-0~~~--|
B|-1~~~~~~~1~~~1~~~1~~~~~~~------------3~~~~~~~3~~~3~~~3~~~~~~/5-------------|
G|-0~~~~~~~0~~~0~~~0~~~~~~~------------0~~~~~~~0~~~0~~~----------------------|
D|-3~~~~~~~3~~~3~~~3~~~~~~~------------0~~~~~~~0~~~0~~~----------------------|
A|-------------------------------------2~~~~~~~2~~~2~~~----------------------|
E|-------------------------------------3~~~~~~~3~~~3~~~----------------------|
emphasis on the open e
repeat this part a couple times, then just before the song gains traction instead of
doing the fill part just bend the F/A# note (watch for the capo, you don't want to get all
out of tune this early into the song. my advice is bend it lightly and as the drums kick
in bend the opposite way a bit to adjust the string). i think it's more plausible that J
plays it Fadd9 (Gadd9/Cadd9, xx3213 relative to capo), but i think Csus4 (D#sus4/G#sus4)
sounds a bit cleaner and i prefer to play it like that.
---Verse---
chords: Am (Cm/Fm, x02210) F (G/C, 133211 or just xx3211) C (D#/G#, x32010) G (A#/D#,
320033) Em (Gm/Cm, 022000)
Well I [Am]followed [F]you that [C]time
[G]Things that [Am]touched me [F]slipped my [C]mind
G Am F C Am Em (fill 1)
If you help me then I'll try and I'll believe you
Fill 1:
e|-------------|
B|-1-0---1-0---|
G|-----2-----2-|
D|-------------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|
ok youre not stupid are you, you know how to fill the next lines. btw im not very sure
about the G chord, i think ive seen J play it live but it might be some weir variation of
C... either way i think if you play C for 4 beats it would stick too? and im really not
sure about the last Am/Em part, it was kinda hard to tab really, so use your best judgement.
---Chorus---
chords: Am (Cm/Fm, x02210) C (D#/G#, x32010) G (A#/D#, 320033) D (F/A#, xx0232)
[Am]I got [C]nothing left to [G]be
Do you [D]have some plans for me
[Am]I got not[C]hing left to [G]be
Do you [D]have some plans for me
[Am]I know you [C]do
I know you [G]do
I know you [D]do
just keep a steady strumming, staccato one C chord. like the vocals. i think the C
sounds better up-strung, but thats my 2 cents.
---Bridge---
chords: Am (Cm/Fm, x02210) D (F/A#, xx0232) C (D#/G#, x32010) G (A#/D#, 320033)
play the Am chord let-ring for 1 beat then play it palm-muted half-step (think slower
punk rock). all other chords are just regular strumming, with a bit of emphasis on the D.
[Am]Now I know you [D]came
Am D Am(')
Now I know you know my name
C G (intro fill)
Don't let me be the same
