The version of I am Trying to Break your Heart in the beginning of the film ("IATTBYH") is wonderful. I have been sitting here for about an hour and a half trying to figure it out and I give up.

If someone could tab this for me, even if it's just a rough tab, I would be eternally grateful. I am dying to play this.

Thank you so much in advance.

There's a tab of it somewhere around here...

 

But, until someone finds that:

 

Capo on 2

 

It's A Em D for the whole song, here's the tab:

 

 

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

b---0h2-0h2--2----0----0--3--3---

g---2----2-----2----0---0--2--2----

d---2----2-----2----2---2--0--0----

a---0----0-----0----2---2--------

e--------------------0---0-------

 

 

Alright, that's mega rough. I'll find that thread.

 

Just throw a capo on 2 and play two bars of A, then one of Em and D. You gotta mix up the rhythm a bit - hammer on second fret of the B-string when you're playing the A. Like this.

 

E---------------------------00---22---

B----0h2---0h2----00-----00---33---

G ------2----- 2----22-----00---22---

D-------2------2----22-----22---00---

A----------------------------22---------

E----------------------------00---------

 

Just play that throughout. Easy. I have the bridge solo, too, if you want that. I'll post it when it's not finals week.

 

That's from knivesout. Cheers!

A capo is the way the Highest Being tells people that bar chords suck. It's either go with the capo for open chords or reduce yourself to clunking root-fifth-octaves. And only punkass emo kids use root-fifth-octaves. So...

 

I would know. Bar chords did in my old band =\

According to Jeff Tweedy, playing with a capo is his way of cutting down the sustain on electric guitar and making it feel more like an acoustic.

Good, now I have a reason to use a capo on my electric, I've always felt like a wuss.

 

Cutting down the sustain on an electric and making it feel like an acoustic is for wussies.

 

:lol
