* = rake. A rake is where you really quickly fingerpick the 6
then the 8 then the 9 REAL fast.
** John also does these really cool slaps on the Low E string
just like a bass. Listen for them.

[Verse 1]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
[Verse 2]
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Verse 3]
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away

version 4
Capo:no capo
He plays it a few different ways
when going from his album to a live set-even
slapping the bass notes sometimes live.
The low E needs to be tuned down all the way to a C.
This C will act as your bass line while playing.
I can promise you this is correct-the timming is the
key and every note listed really is there. This in
no way represents the rythm, it would have taken hours
to tab that you should be able to figure it out.

[Verse 1]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
[Verse 2]
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Verse 3]
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away

So just use your imagination
Right after the jam he goes into this

[Verse 1]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
[Verse 2]
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Verse 3]
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away

away slap harmonic over sound hole
away away aaay aaay She burns away
[Verse 1]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
[Verse 2]
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon

Who knows how long, how long, how long

You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand

[Verse 1]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
[Verse 2]
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

Neon, neon

Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Verse 3]
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands

This song is easiest when learned in sections, because it's mainly fingerpicking, but the pattern for
fingerpicking is relatively the same throughout the song, if you're super interested in learning this version
but can't quite get it, email me and I'll do the best I can to explain an easier way to place your fingers.

Tuning is Standard except that low E is tuned down to C
Intro
[Finger Picking/Rhythm Technique]
It will make learning the song much easier once you get this pattern down. Practice this without playing any
notes so you can focus on consistent timing and the percussive rhythm.
To play this song correctly, you will need to use an unconventional picking technique; Use only your thumb
and index finger(with the exception a whole hand slap), in an alternating 16th note pattern. The thumb should
only ever pick downward and the index finger upward. Once the thumb has played the bass note on the C string,
it must then reach down past the index finger to the G string. Reaching that thumb down is the most practical
way to play the notes and incorporate the percussive movements. This is the technique John himself uses.
Legend:
T = Thumb
*T = Slap note using thumb (like the slapping technique used for bass guitar)
I = Index finger
X = Percussive slap using the whole hand on the strings (simulating a snare drum)

[The Bassline - C string notes]
Played with the thumb (LH) only, the goal is to substitute this bassline for the C string picking shown above.
* = Indicates a bass style slap

[Basic Chord Shapes]
Using the bassline above to guide you through changes, work on positioning your hands for the chord shapes.
Chords:
* = Indicates thumb used to fret note.
Disclaimer: this was the most ergonomic way to fret the notes for me. If you want to play exactly like John,
use your thumb to fret all notes on the C string. I would not advise this unless you have giant rubber hands
and I take no responsibility for injuries you incur attempting this.

[Full Tab]
In addition to the plucked out chord shapes above, the slapping/rhythm and the bassline. There are a few
transition notes which tie all the elements together, fill blank spaces in the rhythm and allow for smooth
changes between chord shapes. These notes include an open D string, the open C string from the bassline, and
a few other extra notes between the chord shapes.

Legend:
1. Tune low E down to C.
Fretting hand:
2. Do it your way, you don't have to use your thumb the way John does it, just find comfortable positions for
each chord.
Picking hand:
3. Play all the notes using ONLY thumb and index finger, it creates something like a percussive feeling -
exception: G note in the first bar - 8* on the B string - you can play it with your middle finger.
4. x - slap low E (C in this case) string or hit all the strings, sounds good both ways; you slap on the 2
and 4 beat (you omit 4 beat at the end of each phrase).
5. First slap (or hitting the strings) in the first bar is the most tricky - do it right after G (8 fret,
B string) and before F (10 fret, G string) - also after you play this bar all the notes between the following
slaps are equal so the distances between them are the same (should be easier to play once you get it right).
This tab is based on youtube tutorials (I recommend Paul Davids' video on this) and live versions of John
playing Neon on the acoustic guitar; it's not so difficult, just takes some time.

[Verse 1]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
[Verse 2]
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Verse 3]
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
[Chorus]
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
[Pre-Chorus]
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands

She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away

Capo:no capo
Ok, first, the tuning is CADGBe. You will not be using the A- or e-strings for the main riff. This is an
acoustic song for sure and low action is almost required.
The two open notes in between each chord shape are really optional (hence the parentheses), but the transition
seems empty without them once you've got the speed down. Up to you. I use them, but don't worry about them.
Chord shapes are separated roughly by bars to make learning easier.
First, get the notes down accurately, then focus on speed, THEN tackle the rhythm. Practice transitioning
between chord shapes so you can switch quickly. Shapes 4 and 5 especially. It's a hard jump to make at first.
In later runthroughs of the main riff, John just strums the last two chord shapes. Another reason to get as
fast as you can here.

Verse finger pattern
--------------------
Basically in the picking you only use your thumb and
index finger but the thumb has two purposes, to slap
the C string (lower E tuned to C) and to pick the G
string. You use your index to pick the D and B strings.
e|x
B|Index Finger Pick
G|Thumb Pick (sometimes Index Finger pick after Thumb)
D|Index Finger Pick
A|x
C|Thumb slap
Solo
The G string example where the Index Finger sometimes
is used is on a chord looking like this:
e|--------------|
B|--------6-----| Index Pick
G|------5----5--| Thumb Pick, Index Pick
D|----8---------| Index Pick
A|--------------|
C|--7-----------| Thumb Slap
The second "5" on the G string is picked with your
index finger.
