Popdeath by The Subways
Popdeath
Tuning: Eb tuning (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
The intro and verse have the same simple pattern of power chords. Repeat four times for
the intro and another four for the verse:
eb|--------------------------------|
Bb|--------------------------------|
Gb|--------------------------------|
Db|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-4-4-4-4--|
Ab|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-4-4-4-4--|
Eb|-5-5-5-0-5-5-5---5-5-0-2-2-2-0--|
Next, the pre-chorus bit ('But can we bear to look now...'). Play the two chords as full
barre chords and pick around the high strings a bit. Play this bit twice:
eb|-7---5---------------------------------|
Bb|-7---7---------------------------------|
Gb|-7---7---------------------------------|
Db|-9---7---7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-4-4-4-4--|
Ab|-9---5---7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-4-4-4-4--|
Eb|-7---5---5-5-5-0-5-5-7--5-5-0-2-2-2-0--|
Chorus ('We can wait up all night...'). This is just a progression of four chords repeated:
eb|-2----7----7----5--|
Bb|-2----9----7----7--|
Gb|-2----9----7----7--|
Db|-4----9----9----7--|
Ab|-4----7----9----5--|
Eb|-2----7----7----5--|
Repeat all of the above for the next verse, pre-chorus and chorus.
The next thing is a bridge. I'm not sure on the chords for the first part, I think they
might be different? Any contributions welcome here! But from 'you can bleed for the
tortured souls', it's just the chorus chords again, but bassy!
Next, the solo. This is played over the top of the verse power chords. This tab is
roughly how I play the solo, but I'm not a great lead guitarist,
eb|-14-14-14p12-9-9-9-----------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------12-14-12-10-10h12p10-----|
Gb|-------------------11h13h14----------------------11--|
eb|-------------------------------------12-12-14-14-14-14-14--|
Bb|-10h12-12/14-12p10-10-10-12-12-14-14-----------------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------------------------------|
To finish, repeat the chorus twice, then the verse power chords four times.
As you scrub away the halo
As you listen to the radio
Its always gonna be the same way
We're all hoping for a fadeaway
Can we bare to look now
As we see them fall down
And we can wait up all night
But nothings gonna change
Its just another pop death
Its on the TV all the time
This is how we change
Its just another popdeath
When I'm staring at the TV
Its like I'm looking at a memory
Its always gonna be the same way
We're all hoping for a fadeaway
Can we bare to look now
As we see them fall down
And we can wait up all night
But nothings gonna change
Its just another popdeath
Its on the TV all the time
And this is how we change
Its just another popdeath
And we can wait up all night
Nothings gonna change
Its just another popdeath
Its on the TV all the time
And this is how we change
Its just another popdeath
And you can care if you really want
Sing their songs when they're dead and gone
You can bleed for their tortured souls
Too much sex and rock n roll
[Solo]
And we can wait up all night
Nothings gonna change
Its just another popdeath
Its on the TV all the time
And this is how we change
Its just another popdeath
And we can wait up all night
Nothings gonna change
Its just another popdeath
Its on the TV all the time
And this is how we change
Its just another popdeath
Its just another popdeath
Its just another popdeath
Its just another popdeath
Its just another popdeath
