------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INXS - Original Sin (5:20) - 1984 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dominic B E-mail: [email protected] Tuning: Standard **This tab does not include the chorus of the song** _______________________________________________________________________________ It's best to listen to the song and make note of the timing and what-not. Also make note that there's an album version and a single/radio edit version of the song too. I'm going by the album version which is pretty much the same as the single. The difference is that the single version only has one post chorus part. Please rate & leave any necessary feedback, thanks! _______________________________________________________________________________ This is the main guitar part that you hear throughout the verses of the song. e|-----7-7-9-10---7-7-9-10----7-7--7---7-7--7-------------------| B|-----8-8-8-8----8-8-8-8-----7-7--7---7-7--7-------------------| G|-----9-9-9-9----9-9-9-9-----7-7--7---7-7--7-------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| Post Chorus part (occurs after the first and second chorus): This is done with fast picking in a DUDUDUDU pattern. The 10's with vibrato is actually the synth part but it still sounds okay on guitar. The second post chorus only has one 10 with vibrato. e|----14-(x16)--10-(x16)--15-(x16)--10-(x16)---10~~-10~~--------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| Second verse is the same, except after the lyrics "when the facts did stare" the guitar part is: e|-----7-7-7---7-7-7-------Instead of being---------------------| B|-----7-7-7---7-7-7-------like the set of 7's------------------| G|-----7-7-7---7-7-7-------above.-------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| Third verse is the same and changes like the second verse with the alternative set of 7's on the lyrics "of the murder committed". e|-----7-7-7---7-7-7--------------------------------------------| B|-----7-7-7---7-7-7--------------------------------------------| G|-----7-7-7---7-7-7--------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
