Could you keep going with this tab through the solo? I've been trying to figure out the picking pattern on this one for a while and the below is a big help.

Hmmm... the responses so far have either been really helpful for a beginner trying to learn this song, or they have been the least helpful things ever posted, mostly for the same reasons. If you're not sure how to work the hammer-ons into a song, then the noting that there should be hammer-ons is somewhat confusing. However, beginners should learn to train their ears and develop a sense for how simple ideas repeat themselves in lots of songs and (most importantly) learn to trust their own taste, so saying "do some hammer-ons" is actually encouraging and can lessen intimidation.

 

Still, I couldn't help but to take a stab in an effort to be somewhat illuminating, so here is my go at the intro, which can serve as a model for just about anytime you have a G chord:

 

(of course, capo 2)

(also, it might not be clear but V indicates a downbeat and ^ indicates an upbeat)

 

1...V.....^.....V.....^.....V.....^.....V.....^......

 

f#--------------------------------------------------|

C#-----------------------1-----------------------1--|

A---------------------0-----------------------0-----|

E---0-----0--0--0-h2-------p0-----------0-h2--------|

B---X-----X--X--------------------------------------|

F#--3-----------------------3-----------------------|

 

2...V.....^.....V.....^.....V.....^.....V.....^......

 

f#--------------------------------------------------|

C#-p0--------------------1-p0--------------------1--|

A---------------------0--------0--------------0-----|

E--p0-----------0-h2-------p0-----0-----0-h2--------|

B---------------------------------------------------|

F#--3-----------------------3-----------------------|

 

Now, I can see why people would write things as cryptic as "do some hammer-ons;" this is not exactly the easiest thing for a beginner to play -- you're not really holding down a G chord in the normal position and you have to hammer-on the fourth string, let it ring, pick the third, then hammer-on the second string, then finally pull-off of the second and fourth strings (which you kept ringing) while you pick the sixth. This is not the first thing you learn on guitar. And in that case, the trying to learn the actual part might be discouraging for a beginner. So saying "hammer on" isn't entirely un-helpful if you just want to be able to play something (in which case, hammer-on the open fourth string to the second fret).

 

Still, it's not THAT hard and it sounds pretty sophisticated once you have it under your fingers. You might like to find your own pattern of strumming and hammering-on (and that's fine), but at least you'll be able to match what you hear to how to play it.

 

Hey Thanks for this....I think I was able to figure out the walk ups, etc based on this. Much appreciated.

Try This:

 

CAPO 2

 

G C G

All my daydreams are disasters

 

G C G

She's the one I think I love

 

G Em C

Rivers Burn and then Run backwards

 

G C G

For her, that's enough

 

 

G C Am

C'mon do what she did Roll me on to New Madrid

 

C D

Shake my baby and please bring her back

 

G C Am

'Cause death won't even be still It caroms over the landfill

 

C D G

Buries us all in its broken back

That's the way I play it currently but looking for this version tabbed:

Does anyone have the Capo II solo version with all the little runs in between the chords tabbed out? Can't seem to find it anywhere and thought someone might be up for doing this while waiting for the new record. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks

FYI - In February's edition of Acoustic Guitar Magazine features a tabbed out version "I'm the Man Who Loves You" for acoustic guitar. Check it out.

If you do a search, there's a good amount of stuff. In addition to your request, the Bb open version from IATTBYH and the cool riff they do live now.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a tab for this or can direct me to where it is on the site.

Thanks
