x------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAD SEASON - MATCHBOX TWENTY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Gerard E Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard This is technically the tab for the lead guitar only. However for the verses i've noted the rhythm part as the lead guitar is often, but not always, silent (ie. you can also play the rhythm part if you're bored as the lead guitarist). I've also put the chord voicings for the song in many places.

More or less reps can be used depending on how fast you can pick! I had to slow the recording down to work this out, so if you are able to do that you might find it easier to get a feel for the last two sections of the solo tab. Chorus 2 I need you now Do you think you can cope You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken Chorus 3 and Outro I need you now Do you think you can cope You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken I come, Ohhhhhhh i come undone - in this mad season D#7 ^ ^ ^ Riff 1 Lick A Riff 1 Lick B Lick A Lick B e|-13/15\13-------------------- ---18~------- B|----------------------------- ------------- G|-10/12\10-------------------- ------------- D|----------------------------- ------------- A|----------------------------- ------------- E|----------------------------- ------------- Then it's just Riff 1 and 2 for the rest of the outro.
