I wrote some notes to clear some "strange" points here and there.
I tried to write down all the particular change of notes he plays everytime
I could.
Hope they're right and you'll enjoy it! :)
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2-----|3-------1-1---------------------|
NOTE: version 0-2-2 and 3-5-5 are both good and interchangeable, even when
playing them together. Applies for for any time you find them
|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|------------------------------8--------|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2---3-|0-----0-2-2-3-4-5----5---7--8----------|
-------------------------|
|------------------------|
|----------8-8-8-8-8-8-8\|
|1-1-----1---------------|   (END OF INTRO)
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2-----|3-------1-1---------------------|
As I said before for 0-2-2 and 3-5-5. I did put one and another for fun.
All the variations are "almost" exactly the same that Tom plays in the
original album version of the song
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|----------------3-------5-5-5-5-|----------------3-------5-5-3-5-|
|3-------1-1---------------------|3-------1-1---------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|----------------3-------5-5---45|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1---------------------|3-------1-1---------------------|
Intend that 45 as 4 then 5. I did put them so close just to indicate
they must be played faster, e.g. with a "hammer on"
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|----------------3-------5-5---3-|
|3-------1-1---------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|------------------2-3-5-7-------|
|------------0-2-3---------5-7-5\|
|3-----3-1-1---------------------|
...with the fashiooooon
(1st chorus)
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2---0-|3-------1-1---------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|------------------3/12 \3/ 15 \5|
|3-------1-1-----0---------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------3-------3-3-3-3-3-3-3---|
|------------7---0-----0--0--------------3------3---------------8\|
|0---------7---7------------3---0-1-------------------------------|
Same example as above for that 45 = 4-5. In this case 3 and 3 are on
different strings...got it??? ;)
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2---0-|3-------1-1---------------------|
"You could be my flamingo..."
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------5---7-----6-|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-3---5---5-7---|
|3-------1-1------0------2-2-----|3-------1-1---------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2---0-|3-------1-1---------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------8-8----8\--------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8\|
|0-----2---3---4-5-----5---7---8----------1-1---1/----------------|
"...what we do toniiiiiight"
I'm not quite sure about the correct timing here
Some notes are stoppedand pay attention to the slide
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------3-------/15\1---------------6---------1/6\1-|
|3-------1---------------------------4-----------------------|
The slided "15" is longer than what might be intended
|---------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------4-4-4-12\\\\\\\\\\\|
|3-------1-1----------------------------------------|
|----------------1-----1x1x1x1x1x-------------------|
IMPORTANT!!! These notes ( the 4s )are anything but correct! :p That's coz
I couldn't define clearly which fret Tom played by doin' those little SLIDES,
though I'm pretty sure about the "12" sliding down very slowly (12\\\\\)
The "X" indicates a stopped note (think)
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|   First
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|   part:
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|   MUTE!
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|    :P
"I want to be your lover         I wanna wrap you in rubber.....as"
|--------------------------------|------------------------77777777|
|--------------------------------|--------------------5-----------|
|--------------9\3-3--10/5-5-----|----------------3-3---3---------|
|3-----3\1-----------------------|3-----3\1-1---1/----------------|
Pink as...
(last chorus)
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1-----0-------2-2---0-|3-------1-1---------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|----------------3-------5-5-----|
|3-------1-1---------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------8-8---8\----8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8\------|
|0---2-3-3---3-5-5-----5---7---8---------1-1/----------------3-----|
Watch out for timing (up there, 2-3-3...3-5-5...) - Every time Tom plays this
part, he plays it in a slightly different way...I did my best to get 'em right :)
(Last note rings...)
Byez!
