------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BESIDE THE OTHERS – TICKLE ME PINK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Allan Smith Email: [email protected] Tuning: CGCGCe Drop C tuning with 2nd string (b) tuned up half step Do not be intimidated by this song! It is very simple. Throughout the song, the same chords are used repeatedly, in various dynamics and The verses are finger-picked, the choruses are strummed, the pre-chorus right after the third is palm muted, and the outro is strummed. All of it is the same note structuring except the bridge. In the verses, after finger-picking through the chord, he lightly strums with his thumb couples times, which I denoted with a “T.” Also, before the choruses, he usually pauses strumming the chord on the 5th fret. I showed this by emboldening the “T” that he strums last. He happens to pick up a pick to strum the choruses, but you may or may not want to do that. You should know, I based most of this here tab on the acoustic version that came with CD, although it shouldn’t be too different from the album’s version. Also, the high e probably is tuned to c, but he uses it only in the bridge. {Verses} e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| C|----0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0-| G|---0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0-| C|--0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0-| G|-2-----2--0-----0--------------------2-----2--0-----0-------------------| C|-------------------5-----5--4-----4--------------------5-----5--5-----5-| T T T T T T -T- T {Choruses} e|------------| C|-0--0--0--0-| G|-0--0--0--0-| C|-0--0--0--0-| G|-2--0-------| C|-------5--4-| This is a simplified version of the bridge that sounds similar to get you through. {Bridge} e|----------------------------------------------------| C|-4---5-4---4-2---4-2----2-0-----2-0-----0-----2---0-| G|---5----5------4-----4------2-------2-------4---4/5-| C|-0--0----0---0---0-----0--0---0-------0-------------| G|------------------------------------------4-----4/5-| C|----------------------------------------------------| T {Ending} Last phrase of the song: e|--------------------------| C|-0--0------0------0-----0-| G|-0--0------0------0-----0-| C|-0--0----0------0-------0-| G|-2--0-------------------0-| C|-------5------4------2--0-| | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
