Blink 182 - Down Tabbed by TJF ([email protected]) for Electric Guitar * Notes: First tab of "Down" from Blink 182's new self-titled album! * Notes: For the 'Breaks after the chorus' parts, just play the same power chord rooted on either the E string or A string. I just put the two different variations in there for fun, but I'm sure that the intro is rooted on the A string as you can tell the difference between the A string and the E string. * Notes: A lot of new Blink 182 songs consist mainly of piano / keyboard parts. I would 'tab' these parts, but you can't exactly tab piano parts. However, I've included some parts to play on guitar if you get bored of playing power chords. Have fun! * Notes: For more Blink 182 tabs and Japanese Punk Rock / Pop Guitar and Bass tabs, please visit www.TJFweb.com [Intro] (Distorted): e|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| G|-4-4-4-x-x-4-4-4-x-x-4-x--------| D|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--------| A|-2-2-2-x-x-2-2-2-x-x-2-x--------| E|--------------------------------| Repeat many times as necessary with VERSE A low in BG...

Lyrics: The drops of rain they fall all over This awkward silence makes me crazy The glow inside burns light upon her I'll try to kiss you if you let me ... This can't be the end Tidal waves they rip right through me Tears from eyes worn cold and sad Pick me up now, I need you so bad Down down down down Down down down down It gets me so Down down down down Down down down down It gets me so Your vows of silence fall all over The look in your eyes makes me crazy I feel the darkness break upon her I'll take you over if you let me ... You did this Tidal waves they rip right through me Tears from eyes worn cold and sad Pick me up now, I need you so bad. Down down down down Down down down down It gets me so Down down down down Down down down down It gets me so Down down down down Down down down down ************************************ | x Dead note ************************************
