Tuning: e B G D A E

Chords Used:

F - 1 3 3 2 1 1

G# - 4 6 6 5 4 4

C# - 4 4 6 6 6 4
***************************************
NOTES:
1) When a chord is followed by a *, it means that the chord has to be played with distortion.
2) Play the c(2nd string 1st fret) and f(1st string 1st fret) notes before every line of Stanza 1 and 2. Remember, only the first line of the stanzas should be after 3 such playings. Stanza 3 is only on drums and bass.
3) For the "A Denial" part at the end of the song, continue playing the Chorus chords. Just reduce the speed to half.
4) The lead is left as an exercise for the IGTans. You are always welcomed to mail me in case there are some difficulty.

wow ! awsome dude ... quite accurate

 

good chords

 

niiiiiiiice it is accurate indeed.good tab.

 

thanx guys 4 all ur appr ... thanx a lot.

 

methought the whole song was played on power chords dude.

 

can sum1 post the chord positions plz
im not acquainted wid such " * " chords

 

^^"*" as he has clarified means that the concerned chords have to be played with distortion...
the chords r simple F A# G# C#

 

oh distortion..didnt notice that! so that doesnt apply to my accoustic guitar

 

Quite nice chords... keep rocking! (the lyrics also helped me a bit)

 

any othr help ... jus tell me, man

 

dont wanna steal ur fire, but this song is perhaps the first one which every1 works out how 2 play, im not doubtin ur abilities, but i feel that this has 2 b one of the most tabbed songs ever

 

Its Ok..there are many people wh r yt to learn/try this song...just like me moreover i dont find this song posted b4

so its fine

 

I'm a Newbie

Hey, i'm quite 2 dis site ... n dis was jus my 1st post at dis forum ... i'm a rgular at d bengali forum ... n vini disn't find it here ... so dis i so i posted it ....

 

u ROCK!!!!

 

fair play... as i sed i not bein harsh or nuthin, but well dun all the same

 

To be fair, the response shows that people appreciated the tab so I suppose his posting it was actually useful....and its quite surprising that it hadnt been posted before since I agree with you about it being one of the most tabbed ever.

 

mmm... i had a feeling i wudnt b the only 1, but i hav 2 say i am not discrediting rohan and uderstand that a lot of people havnt seen the tab b4, but that makes me wonder, do the people on igt only come 2 igt for their tabs? or have they ever considered other sites?

 

u r rite mr. singh ... ppl do go 2 other site ... i did 2 ... found d chrds ... but none of them satisfied me ... most of them vere on E ... which it is actually not no .... so i'm not stopin still i get d perfect chords on d perfect scale ... n luk at my detailin .... i bet u won't find such detailin in any other sites ... if u do, plz post d link ... u'll owe me 100 bucks ...

 

oh, stop blowing your trumpet. Your version is the same as the others I've seen and you haven't even given the parts to be played during the verses. What "detailing" are you talking about?



You've done a good job with the chords but to call them perfect and better than the tabs on any other site is just vain in a silly way.....
