Fever
The Black Keys
Turn Blue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard
YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co5WQiiUuOw
The main riff is played by the bass but you could also play it on a guitar if you
tuned the heavy E string down to D.
The chorus riff is played by the keyboard but I tabbed it for guitar just for kicks.
Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review.
Key:
where # represents a fret number
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
* - time keeper. if you played a steady
baseline, you'd see the notes are
displayed in the tab in the correct
chronological order.
& - symbol substitution. some symbols
(eg double digits) are too big to
fit in with the progression.

0:31
Fever, where'd you run to?
Fever, where'd you run to?
Acting right is so routine
Fever, let me live a dream
0:46
(Guitar 3 starts)
Fever, I'm a slave to Am
No one misbehaved too F
Fever, they're misunderstood Dm
Wouldn't leave you if I could F
Fever
[Chorus]
1:01
Fever cuz I'm breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever, why don't you explain?
Break it down again
1:16
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever, why don't you explain?
Break it down again

Fever, can you hear me?
Fever, can you hear me?
You shook me like I've never been

But fever's got me stressing
Realize I have been played
But fever let me play the game
