OURS - CHAPTER2 (money) Tabbed by Matt Torres ([email protected]) **note: this tab is really more for just the acoustic part of this song. I recommend finding an acoustic version of it to learn along with. If you need one, email me and I'll try to get a good one to you. Intro: ------ The intro to this song is, at its core, an Em strummed rather quickly with a descending half-step pattern being played on string 2. This is difficult to illustrate, but just keep in mind that the song is in some sort of 3/4 time. Meaning of course that the beat has a "1-2-3, 1-2-3" feel rather than a "1-2-3-4" feel. If you're not sure what I mean by that....just ignore that and go by ear. Basically, whay you'll see below is the intro divided into 4 "measures". I'm not sure how to notate the strumming pattern or even explain it. Just listen to the song (if you have an acoustic version, it is much clearer). The important part to this is the "falling" pattern on the A string from fret 3 to 2 to 1 to 0, then repeating. Repeat this as many times as you want before you start the verse (I forget how many times he plays through this before starting the verse). E|0---------|0---------|0---------|0---------| B|3---------|2---------|1---------|0---------|2-->3-->4-->5-->4-->3-->2, repeat. As to how long to strum each pattern...I don't know what to say. I know the pattern, but it is difficult for me to try to explain without being able to actually hum it or tap it out. It's a rather synchopated, fast pattern, but once you figure it out, it is a BLAST to play around with. Actually....strum fingering 3 twice, then fingering 2 twice, then strum fingering 1 and let it ring out. Sound like any other Ours songs? If not..just continue Arrangement: ------------ Intro ---> Verse ---> Chorus --> Verse--> Chorus --> Verse --> Bridge --> --> Chorus --> Outro (Intro w/ Ending Lyrics) Ok well, I hope this helps.
