Hey ! 5 Seconds Of Summer just released their new EP ! There's an acoustic version of
their song Don't Stop which is really
cool and fairly simple ! There are probably more guitar parts,but this is roughly it I
think !
For the intro and the verses : (palm muted)
D F# G C# D
e|----0------0-------0-------------------------------------------------------|
B|----0------0-------0-------------------------------------------------------|
G|----6-(x5)-6-(x3)--6-(x4)--6-----7-----------------------------------------|
D|----0------4-------5-------------------------------------------------------|
A|----0------4-------5-------4-----5-----------------------------------------|
D|----0------4-------5-------------------------------------------------------|
Play C# and D as in :
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----666--6/7---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----444--4/5---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
To play this, I put my pinkie on the 6th fret,G string,use my pointer finger to barre
the 4th fret,and my ring
finger to barre the 5th fret. For the octave chords,I put my pinkie on the G string and
my pointer finger on the
A string. Also I tend to hit that D octave chord after sliding,I think it sounds better !
D F# G C# D
You're like perfection, some kind of holiday
D F# G C# D
You got me thinking that we could run away
D F# G
You want I'll take you there,
C# D
You tell me when and where,
D F# G C# D
Oh oh oh oh
Then for the prechorus,it's just one chord :
Asus2
e|----0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----9-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----7-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----7-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----7-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Asus2 Asus2
That everybody wants to take you home tonight
Asus2 Asus2
But I'm gonna find a way to make you mine
Here I do DDUxUD trying to mute the strings with my left hand to give that kind of jumpy
sound that's in the
recording,and when it comes to "make you mine" I do DUDUDU, strumming the chords this
time,fully I mean.
The chorus :
E7sus4 G Asus2
e|--0-----0-----0---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--0-----0-----0---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--7-----7-----9---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0-----5-----7---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--0-----5-----7---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0-----5-----7---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E7sus4 G
Don't stop doin' what you're doin'
Asus2
Every time you move to the beat
G
It gets harder for me
E7sus4
And you know it, know it, know it
Fun little bassline :
G6 Emaj7 Asus2
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----6-----7-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--5----6-----7-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----6-----7-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Hit G6 twice to mak eit sound like what they're playing.
E7sus4 G
Don't stop 'cause you know that I like it
Asus2
Every time you walk in the room
G
You got all eyes on you
E7sus4
And you know it, know it, know it
G6 Emaj7 Asus2
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----6-----7-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--5----6-----7-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----6-----7-------------------------------------------------------------|
Then you repeat the verse and the chorus...
The bridge :
Bsus4 G Asus2
e|---0-----0-----0--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---0-----0-----0--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---6-----7-----9--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---4-----5-----7--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---4-----5-----7--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---4-----5-----7--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bsus4 G
Every day it's the same all the games that you play
Bsus4 Asus2
Back and forth, round and round, kinda like it this way
When Luke sings the chorus alone after that, you can palm mute the chords.
There's also this little part : (which is also the whistle part which plays throughout
the whole song))
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----7------7------7---8---7-----------------------------------------------|
G|---7---7--7---7--7---7---7---7---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then it goes back to the chorus.
Again I figured it by ear listening to the track on the EP, I doubt that both Luke and
Michael play it that way,
but once there will a video of them playing it acoustically,I'll try to make it more
accurate ! Enjoy !
