----------------------------------------------------------------------- Come On Get Higher – Matt Nathanson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Andrew Connors Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard Capo 2 There are two ways to play the Intro. The first is with standard tuning with no capo and be played as accompaniment throughout the entirety song if you have two guitars, one to play this Intro and another to play the chords. This is the first way to play the Intro. Note: The notes in parentheses are ghost notes and do not have to be played. However if look at the note, 5th fret low E String and open A string are the same note (A),the same true for A string 5th fret and D string open (D). Think of when your tuning your guitar. anyways these notes don't have to be hit they just add a little color to it if you to hit them. e|----5--5------5--5|----5—-5--0-|----5--5------5--5----------| B|----5--5------5--5|----5--5--0-|----5--5------5--5----------| G|----x--x------x--x|----x--x--x-|----x--x------x--x----------| D|-----(0)----------|-----(0)-2--|-----(0)--------------------| A|-4----5---(0)--(0)|-4----5-----|-4----5---(0)---(0)---------| E|-----------5----5-|------------|-----------5-----5----------| 4x The second way to play the intro is more conducive to one guitar play. To play the you must capo the 2nd fret. It would be pretty hard to play the intro with no capo then put on time to switch to the chords. Playing the intro this way is identical to the above for the mutes and ghost notes. Its literally the same notes execept you can't hit the notes and you hit the G string open because the key has changed with the capo. You pluck root note of the first three chords you’re going to play in the same progression as the are played in the verse and then just hit the bottom three strings simultaneously as G string open, B string on 3rd fret, high E string on the 3rd fret, which like this Capo on 2 e|----3---3-----3---3-|--------------------| B|----3---3-----3---3-|--------------------| G|----0---0-----0---0-|--------------------| D|--------------------|--------------------| A|-2----3-------------|--------------------| E|-----------3----3---|--------------------| 6x The chords used in the Verse, Pre-Chorus and Chorus are. B/G: x20033 C9: x32033 G: 320033 D: xx0323 Em7: x22033 The Chords for the verse are as follows B/G, C9, G and can be played with another guitar playing the 1st Version of the intro through the entirety of the song or by itself.

After the first time the chorus is played the song basically just repeats but the rest the song goes as follows in this order. Play the verse once more Play the Pre-chorus once more Play through chorus TWICE back to back Then after this the only change occurs which is the bridge which is played after the is played through twice. The bridge strum pattern is exactly the same as the pre chorus, the only change is in chord progression, instead of playing C9, G, E7, D you play C9, E7, G, D the middle two chords swicth order. This looks like: D D U D U D U D U D D U D U D U D U D D U D U D U D U D D U D U D U D U e|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|---------------------| B|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|---------------------| D|-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-|-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-|-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-|-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-| A|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-|-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-| E|---------------------|---------------------|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-| C9 E7 G D Play 1X After the bridge play the chords C9 Em7 G D Once Each, this is the part where he sings, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on Then play the Intro for single guitar 2X Then Finally Play the Chorus 4X Here it is with the first part of the lyrics for your timing Verse: B/G C9 G I miss the sound of your voice B/G C9 G I miss the rush of your skin B/G C9 G I miss the still of the silence B/G C9 D as you breathe out and I breathe in Pre-Chorus: C9 if I could walk on water G if i could tell you what’s next Em7 make you believe D make you forget Chorus: C9 come on get higher G loosen my lips C9 faith and desire G and the swing of your hips C9 G just pull me down hard Em7 D and drown me in love This is pretty much the entire song its pretty easy once you get the strum pattern and signature down.
