The Pursuit of HappinessOk well theres 3 major parts to this...... it's 4/4, and it requires a goodlong listen to make any sense of but here goes.....First off there's the intro/bridge which is kind of hard to tab (for someonewith as little talent as me) but is basically:Riff1:e x----x--x--x---------- (x) B 2----7--7--5---------- (2) G 2----7--7--5---------- (2) D 2----7--7--5---------- (2) A 0----5--5--3---------- (0) E 0----5--5--3----2--3-- (0)which probably gives you no idea..... so let me try again with a time chart:A D D C F#G|/ / / / | |/ / / /) (the last 2 are notes, not chords as per diagram above)and you can add ae --------5-|B 3H~5P~3---|G ----------| D ----------| A ----------| E ----------|afterwards if you're feeling ambitious(B string: 3 hammer on to 5, pull of to 3, upper E: 5)sorry about the overkill btw but I'm not exactly confident that I'mrepresenting this properly......I'm sure that if you're even attempting this that you'll be able to put inyour own fills anyhow.this is played for 2 barsSecondly there is the verse structure, played with 2 guitars, double tempoRiff2, first guitar:e x--x-x-x-x-x--x-x-x-x-|B 2--5~7~5~7~5--5~7~5~7-|G 2--5~7~5~7~5--5~7~5~7-|D 2--5~7~5~7~5--5~7~5~7-|A 0--3~5~3~5~3--3~5~3~5-|E x--x-x-x-x-x--x-x-x-x-|~ is slide btw (is this standard ?, sorry to be an idiot)there's 2 bars of this and then guitar 2 joins in the funRiff 3, second guitar:e 5---8~10~-8~10~10---8~10~-8~10-| B 5---8~10~-8~10~10---8~10~-8~10-| G 6---9~11~-9~11~-9---9~11~-9~11-|D 7--10~12~10~12~10--10~12~10~12-|A 7--10~12~10~12~10--10~12~10~12-|E 5---8~10~-8~10~ 8---8~10~-8~10-|for (go on, guess) 2 barsso in summary riff 2 is A-CDCDC-CDCD in the open position (A fingering)riff 3 is A-CDCDC-CDCD in the 5th position (E fingering)only the middle C in riff 3 has some kind of bastardised 7th added(someone PLEASE put me out of my misery :).... moe, where are you ?)and then finally (and most easily) the chorusguitar 1:D Dsus4 DOne more cof --- fee,C7Three more aspirins,G DTwo more Vitamin BDsus4 DMuch regret now,C7That the mornings'GCrashing Down on meguitar2: (arguable) Riff 4basically just plays Dsus4 (picked), i.e.:e 2------2-3-2--2-3-2---2-3-2-3-2-| B 3----3-------3------3-----------| G 2-------------------------------| D 0-------------------------------| A 0-------------------------------| E x-------------------------------|just follow the beat of the vocal for this.......SOOOOOOOOOOOOO (why did I ever start this damn song ?)Riff 1 (x2)Riff 2I don't need that drink - I know I've had enoughHow much is enough ? Deciding that is kind of tough....Riff 2Are all those emptys mine, oh lord have mercyHey, I didn't realise I was so thirstyRiff 2 + Riff 3 (2nd guitar)(just play the 2nd guitar bit if you're solo, IMHO it's crucial to the song)I'm so stupid now I want out of my skinPeople can see me weaving out and weaving inRiff 2 + Riff 3 (2nd guitar)My personality divides and mutatesA sh*t eating grin is plastered on my rubber faceRiff1 (x2)Riff 2I feel like dancing I really hope I don'tI want to go home so bad I can't believe I won'tRiff 2Somethings filling me with poisonous ideasWhile I'm filling my belly with strawberry margueritasRiff 2 + Riff 3 (2nd guitar)Tequila makes me sick, I hope that I don't getAt least not in public, please not yetRiff 2 + Riff 3 (2nd guitar)Instead I'll find some poor victim for my disembodied mouthI start talking real loud about something he don't care aboutRiff 1 (x2) (plus some nice showoff fills, I just bend B-3 a lot ;) )Chorus:(plus G2 picking riff 4)D Dsus4 DOne more cof --- fee,C7Three more aspirins,G DTwo more Vitamin BDsus4 DMuch regret now,C7That the mornings'GCrashing Down on meRiff2 (x2) (yes same as before, I'm just getting bored)A few beers later I feel like matingI asked the girl how old she was she told me she was eighteenI made a judgement error, I wasn't thinkingI never would have done it if I hadn't got so stinkingRiff2 (x2) + G2 Riff3 (x2)Good thing I found out before I got her homeBut I didn't get my change from the cab driver, oh noThe bartender and the convenience store clerkIt's getting expensive being such a f**king jerkRiff 1 (x2)ChorusSolo (yeah, right.
