"triplets" are eighth triplets.<br/> * The marks below the tab lines are timing; they're mostly accurate.<br/> * An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off. When there wasn't room for<br/> the marker, I put the numbers and equal signs in parentheses below the tab.<br/> I did that so that 1=0 wouldn't be confused with the number 10 (ten).<br/> <br/> G C<br/> E ----------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> B ----------|--------------------------------|--------tri---------1=0---------|<br/> G 2-4---2-0-|2---0-----------------2---4-2-0-|2---4---020---0---------------20|<br/> D ----------|--2-----------------------------|------------2-------------------|<br/> A ----------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> E ----------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^<br/> (0=2=0) (2=0)<br/> <br/> Am7 C G<br/> E ----------------0---------------|----------3-----7-7-7-7-8=7-5---|<br/> B --------1=0-------------3---1=0-|1=0-----------7---------------8-|<br/> G 0-------------20----------------|----2=0-4---4-------------------|<br/> D --------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> A --------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> E --------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .<br/> (2=0)<br/> <br/> G C<br/> E 5--------------57---------10-10-|12--10=8--------15---------------15|<br/> B --5-8-------------------triplets|--------10-12-13--------10=12-13---|<br/> G --------------------------------|--------triplets-------------------|<br/> D --------------------------------|-----------------------------------|<br/> A --------------------------------|-----------------------------------|<br/> E --------------------------------|-----------------------------------|<br/> ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .<br/> <br/> <br/> Am7 C G<br/> E -----------------------8-----7-----|--------------------------------|<br/> B 13--13=12-10--10-----8-------------|8-------------------------------|<br/> G ------------12--12-9---------------|--------------------------------|<br/> D -----------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> A -----------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> E -----------------------------------|--------------------------------|<br/> ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .<br/> <br/> <br/> ==-=--=---=----=-----=-------=---------=---------=-------=-----=----=---=--=-==<br/> Adam Schneider indigo@ucscb.ucsc.edu U.C.
