AS WE GO UP
————
The chorus and verse are both arpeggiated barre chords. These are the
notes I think they’re playing, but the guitar is pretty hard to hear
for most of the song
Verse:
G C E D
e—3——————————————————————
B——3———5——————————————————
G——————5——-9———7————————————
D—————————9———7———————————
A————3——-3-7——7—5————————————-
E-3——-3————————————————————
Chorus:
G C Bm C
e—-3——————-2———————————————
B——3——5————3——5————————————
G—————5——————-5———————————
D———————————————————————
A————3——3—2——2—3————————————-
E-3——-3————————————————————
For the bridge («I speak in monotone…») play Bb and C, strummed
normally.
————
BLIMPS GO 90
————
The verse is a pretty simple little riff.
Play this thing a few times:
e——————
B——————
G——————
D—4——-4——
A-2—2————
E——-0-0—0—-
Followed by:
e—————————————-
B—————————————-
G—————————————- etc.
D—————————4——-4—-
A—-6——-6——4——2—2————
E—4—4-4-4—0-2—2———-0-0—0—
^ (This is kind of a grace note played as you move your
fingers from the G#5 to F#5.)
The transition from verse to chorus goes:
e——————-
B——————-
G——————-
D—-4——4———
A—2—2-1—1-2—-
E——————-
The chorus is just two note power chords:
G#5 F#5 E5
G#5 E5 F#5
The violin part is basically four notes played in different orders.
e—11—9———- is the first riff; the violin plays these notes
B————12—9— throughout the rest of the song.
—————
CLOSER YOU ARE
—————
The verse is just a change between C and G barre chords.
The chorus is G C Bm Bb A.
For «Now you can see the boys» play C then B. (It might be C then G,
I’m not really sure.)
The «dreaming, scheming» riff is this:
e——0-0-0——-0-0-0————————————————
B—0——-0—0——-0——0-0-0——-0-0-0————————
G—————————0——-0—0——-0———————
D———————————————————————
A-0————0——————————————————-
E————————-0————0——————————-
The last part goes like this:
C G Csus2
e—3——3—-3—————3———————-3—————-
B—5———-3—————3—-3—3—3————3—————-
G—5—5—-5—4—————5-5————5———4—————-
D—5———-5—————5———————-5—————-
A—3———-5—————3———————-5—————-
E————-3—————————————3—————-
I get up Seven o’clock Drive myself up to the lookout rock
————
LITTLE WHIRL
————
The verse riff is: D A G E G A
The chorus is: G A
End on a D.
————
MY SON COOL
————
The intro is: B D
B D E
The verse is: A D A F# E F# D B D
And then repeat the intro.
———-
PIMPLE ZOO
———-
The first part is E then G.
The break in between the two main parts is B G# D#.
Then the final part is E then Db.
—————
A SALTY SALUTE
—————
The guitar part to this is simply D and E. However, I think it sounds
better to follow the baseline, especially if you’re just playing alone.
In that case, the chords are: D A D G F# E F# G.
——————
WATCH ME JUMPSTART
——————
The opening riff is 3 barre chords: E F# A F# E
For the verse, I play the same chords, only leave the low E string open
and alternate it with the chords like this:
e-0——0———-2——2———-5——
B-0——0———-2——2———-5——
G-1——1———-3——3———-6——
D-2——2———-4——4———-7——
A-2——2———-4——4———-7——
E—0-0—0-0-…—-0-0—0-0-…—-0-0—
Followed by the main riff.
For the «Shoot me down part» play E followed by A.
Then, for «Cause I won’t be around» play a Dbm. The little riff that
goes on there is just the B string; while making the Dbm, lift your
middle finger on and off, like this B-5-5-5-4-5. The rest of the bridge
goes like this:
F# E
As you run from the places you love I remember the faces that cry
C D C
And they’re pulling me back so I have to die
