Anybody have the lead guitar tab?

 

doont have either the song or my guitar right here, but I think the riff sounds like something like this

 

e-------7---7--6--5--4--------

b------------------------------

g--6s7-----7--6--5--4-------

 

I'm not sure I like this version to tell you the truth. That electric riff reminds me too much of some 60's song, and it get's a little repetitive

Really? Hmm i thought the song needed something else... like it was great hearing it live at NYC with ORourke, but i felt like a riff over the simple chords was needed. They definitly could have put a little solo riff in though at the break in the song instead of just repeating that lead guitar part again.

Yeah, different strokes and all. Maybe it will grow on me.

b----------------------------------

g-3s4---6s7---7--6--5--4-------

 

Update, that's the riff between the G and E chords. The main riff can be played like this:

 

e--------------------------

b----6-----7---7-6-5-3---

g-------------------------

d-5s6--6s7---7-6-5-4--

 

 

although there are a few ways to do this, and as the song progresses it sounds like there are actually two or more riffs layered on top of each other.

As the good Dude Lebowski has noted before, the best trick is to use the "Code" button above and it will format properly when you submit.

 

 

 

E				  A				  D
He resurfaced on the sidewalk on my block the other day

 

Even with the code I had to make multiple edits..grrr

could anybody help me out with this:

 

for the acoustic version of this song,

what is the little chord riff he does at the end of each phrase

 

like for the first line

 

He [E] resurfaced on the sidewalk [A] on my block the other [D] day

 

it's not just [D] that he plays at the end, it's something like [D][E][D]

 

or maybe it's just an upstroke (i guess that is what you call it) on the top e

 

does that sound right?

e-2-2--0-------2

b-3-3--3-------3
