Electrical Storm
tabbed by {phlikone}
I looked at some of the other tabs and they just seem to be off to me. This is what I
hear, it works fine with open chords or barred. I put a few alternatives for you to
experiment with. I am a solo acoustic guitarists...so I don't have the lead part, but
other tab versions might have it. Please give a good rating, Thanks!
Chords
F#m A E or E B D or D C#m or C#m
e|--0----0---0------7---0---0------5---0-------4---|
B|--0----0---0------9---0---0------7---0-------5---|
G|--2----6---1------9---8---11-----7---9-------6---|
D|--4----7---2------9---9---12-----7---11------6---|
A|--4----7---2------7---9---12-----5---11------4---|
E|--2----5---0------7---7---10-----5---9-------4---|
note: I make an open E chord and use my thumb for F#m, A, B, D, and C#m.
The rhythm is pretty tough to figure out, just get use to the song and you'll get it.

F#m A B
Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
F#m A B F#m
you're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream

coffee is cold, but it will get you through

compromise, that's nothing new to you

let's see colours that have never been seen

let's go to places no one else has been

ELECTRICAL STORM (EASY VERSION)
tabbed by Phlikone.
I'm going to put an "easy" version...I figured it out last night, these are basic chords
but played with a capo on two. These are the same "notes" as in the above version, just
easier to play for those, like me, struggle sometimes. So I hope this will help those who
are just learning...Don't forget to rate! Thanks.
