The killers Mr Brightside acoustic Tabbed by: Mark Bryce Email: [email protected] Web: www.brycey.co.uk ___________________________________________________ Tuning: E A D G B eb Legend h - hammer on p - pull off / - slide up \ - slide Down ( ) - let ring [PLEASE NOTE] This is not the actual song, i just came up with this version to play acoustically because I was asked to play it at a party, and since my guitar isnt cut away its near impossible to play. Its not 100% note perfect to the song, but its easy to sing along with. Any corrections/variations welcome. Tune high E string flat for effect! ***UPDATE*** You can now hear a quick recorded version of this song, i typically play it slower than the original http://www.brycey.co.uk/mr_brightside_acoustic.mp3 ^^^^^Paste address in your browser _____________________________________________________ [Intro] [NOTE] Its finger picked throughout eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| B |------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2--| G |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D |----3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3----| A |--4-----------------3----------------------------------------------------| E |--------------------------------------2-----------------2----------------| _________________ [Verse] I'm coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss, How did it end up like this It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep, And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke, And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed, And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, But she's touching his Guitar 1 - **repeat over:** eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| B |------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2--| G |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D |----3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3----| A |--4-----------------3----------------------------------------------------| E |--------------------------------------2-----------------2----------------| ________________ **until:** chest Now, he takes off her dress now, let me go eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| B |------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2--| G |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D |----3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3----| A |--1-----------------1----------------------------------------------------| E |--------------------------------------4-----------------4----------------| eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| B |------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2--| G |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D |----3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3----| A |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E |--2-----------------2-----------------2-----------------2----------------| _________________ I just can't look its killing me eb|-----------0-----------------0-----------------0----------------0--------| B |-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2------2-----2---2--| G |-----3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3------3---3-----3----| D |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A |---1-----------------1-----------------1----------------1----------------| E |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| And taking control eb|-----------0-----------------0-----------------0----------------0--------| B |-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2-------2-----2---2------2-----2---2--| G |-----3---3-----3-------3---3-----3-------3---3-----3------3---3-----3----| D |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E |---2-----------------2-----------------2----------------2----------------| _____________________________________________________ [Chrous] Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cause I'm Mr Brightside eb|------------2--------------------2---------------------------------------------| B |-------2-------2---2--------2------2---2-----------6---------------------------| G |-----------------------------------------------6-----6---6---------------------| D |-----3---3-------3--------4---4------4-------6---6-----6-----------------------| A |--4--------------------4------------------4-----------------4-4--3-3--1-1--3-3-| E |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| _____________________________________________________ Well the song repeats itself after this, so i wont bother writting more. I hope this is useful to someone! By Mark Bryce ***************************************************************** New Version in Eb: By Lester Tiu This is an adaptation of my tab in Eb tuning by Lester Tiu, it has some different ideas on how the song could be adapted for acoustic guitar such as the chorus. He's done a good job, I hope you all find this useful too: [Intro] eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| Bb|------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3--| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|----4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4----| Ab|--5-----------------4----------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------3-----------------3----------------| [Verse] I'm coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss, How did it end up like this It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep, And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke, And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed, And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, But she's touching his eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| Bb|------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3--| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|----4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4----| Ab|--5-----------------4----------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------3-----------------3----------------| chest Now, he takes off her dress now, let me go eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| Bb|------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3--| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|----4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4----| Ab|--2-----------------2-----------------0-----------------0----------------| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| Bb|------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3--| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|----4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4----| Ab|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|--3-----------------3-----------------3-----------------3----------------| I just can't look its killing me eb|-----------0-----------------0-----------------0----------------0--------| Bb|------3------3---3------3------3---3------3------3---3------3------3---3-| Gb|----4---4------4------4---4------4------4---4------4------4---4------4---| Db|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|--2-----------------2-----------------2-----------------2----------------| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| And taking control eb|----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0--------| Bb|------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3-------3-----3---3--| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|----4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4-------4---4-----4----| Ab|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|--3-----------------3-----------------3-----------------3----------------| [Chrous] D G A G Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cause I'm Mr Brightside eb|------------2--------------------3-----------------5-------------------------| Bb|-------3-------3---3--------3------3---3------3------3---3-------------------| Gb|-----2---2-------2--------0---0------0------2---2------2---------------------| Db|--0----------------------------------------------------------0---------------| Ab|------------------------------------------0-----------------------4----2-----| Eb|-----------------------3-----------------------------------------------------|
