Charles W. [email protected] This song is tuned DADGAD, and I have tabbed this from looking at a number of Fink's live videos, but timing and structure is synced to the album version. When playing this song, he slaps the strings pretty hard between strums to get a nice percussive effect. From the videos it looks like he is slapping the strings down into the fretboard, so you can recreate this by slapping your right hand on the strings, pushing them in towards the guitar slapping them on the fretboard and releasing quickly so the notes can ring out. Listen to the song for timing on this strumming. When you see full chords, you will often strum them more than I have indicated. I have only included the outlines of chords and movement between them, not the strumming pattern. I will include timing of each part according the album version, with a full breakdown at the bottom. --(I will indicate some of the string slaps with a "*")-- ----------------------------- Intro: [0:00-0:32] Guitar 1 repeats: D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|---9------9------9------9-| A|-7------7------7------7---| D|-7------7------7------7---| Guitar 2 comes in at 0:21: * D|-----------0---0--------| A|-----------0---0--------| G|-----------5---5--------| D|-----------0---0--------| A|---7-------7---7--------| D|---7-------7---7--------| Verse: [0:33-1:36] and [2:19-3:22] * * D|------0--0--0--|----------0--0--|---0---0---0----------| A|------0--0--0--|-----0-0--0--0--|---0---0---0----------| G|----0-0--0--0--|-0---0-0--0--0--|---0---0---0----------| D|----0-0--0--0--|-0---0-0--0--0--|---0---0---0----------| A|--3------3--3--|-3/5-5-5--5--5--|---7---7---7----------| D|---------------|----------5--5--|---7---7---7----------| Chorus ("Deep water.."): [1:37-2:18] and [3:23-4:05] and [4:48-end] * D|------0---0-----|---0----0------|---0---0----|---0---0----| A|------3---3-----|---0----0------|---0---0----|---0---0----| G|------0---0-----|---2----2------|---2---2----|---0---0----| D|----2-2---2-----|---0----0------|---0---0----|---0---0----| A|--3---3---3-----|---0----0------|---3---3----|---7---7----| D|----------------|---0----0------|---3---3----|---7---7----| * D|------0---0-----|---0----0------|---0---0----|---0---0----| A|------3---3-----|---0----0------|---0---0----|---0---0----| G|------0---0-----|---2----2------|---0---0----|---0---0----| D|----2-2---2-----|---0----0------|---0---0----|---0---0----| A|--3---3---3-----|---0----0------|---5---5----|---7---7----| D|----------------|---0----0------|---5---5----|---7---7----| Chorus Fills: Sometimes in the chorus he plays minor variations on the 000200 chord: ...|---0--2-p0----|... ..|-0--2-p0----|... ..|-0-2-p0------].. ...|---0--0----0--|... ..|-0--0---3---|... ..|-0-0----3-p2-].. ...|---2--2-------|... ..|-2--2----2--|... ..|-2-2---------].. ...|---0--0-------|... or ..|-0--0-------|... or ..|-0-0---------].. ...|---0--0-------|... ..|-0--0-------|... ..|-0-0---------].. ...|---0--0-------|... ..|-0--0-------|... ..|-0-0---------]..
