xThe Weakerthans - Prescience of Dawn Hey, I basically just put this over here from the forums, for more public use. All to Zach on the Weakerthans fan board, http://theweakerthans.tk/. Have fun. :) Begins with a build up on B: one guitar strums once, the other repeatedly, then it’s chords: G5 A5 B5. I think you hit the open the open G on all of these chords but its really and that just doesn’t sound too good an acoustic) With this riff played over it: I didnt put all the cool electric noisy bits cause it doesn’t work on acoustic) (INTRO RIFF) E|---------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------| G|-6-7--9-7-------6-7--9-7---------------| D|-----------9--------------7------------| A|---------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------2-3--3-5--| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------7^7--(bend a half step then back)or just do: 7h8p7-| G|-6-7--9-7-------6-7--9-7------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------9------------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 'sirens woke me up again...' rhythm guitar drops out, bass plays G A B B (VERSE) 2nd guitar:(palm mute) E|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-----|..
